Mágoa

I’m excited to announce the release of my 5th book, Mágoa ! Writing this book has been an amazing journey, and it feels like I'm publishing one after another. Each book has been a learning experience, and I hope this one resonates with readers in a new way. This book marks a different direction for me creatively, and I’m proud of how carefully crafted it is. While self-publishing can be time-consuming, I’ve done my best to ensure quality, but there may still be minor errors since we're all human. I'm hopeful that this year will bring even more opportunities for my work to be recognized by publishers, and that one day my book will be found in bookstores. I truly hope you enjoy Mágoa, and that it leaves you wanting more of my writing. Available now on Amazon! 

Mágoa tells the story of a woman named Lucia who is going through a difficult time in her life, trying to find her place in the world while also dealing with the ups and downs of love, heartbreak, and grief. What makes her story truly unique is that she uses poetry to express her deepest emotions and experiences. Each poem represents a different perspective of her life journey, allowing her to tap into her vulnerability and feel the full range of her emotions. It's a powerful and moving story that shows the strength of the human spirit in overcoming adversity. While writing this book I took a different approach to storytelling and mashing together poetry and prose to tell Lucia's story as a diary to life.

Distance Memories

Lucia

I remember all too well the feeling of being with you.

I dreamt of you and it made me miss you.

Miss you enough to crave your attention again.

If I saw you again would you say who are you?

My imagination is getting the best of me reality doesn't even trust me.

Crave your attention again? Is this another lie I have to maintain in order to regain?

Regain what though? My sanity.

Loneliness makes you miss people that you want to forget.

Missing you is something I regret.

I don't think I even felt my best with you, only a delusional I kept feeding myself until gluttony took over my body.

I continued to eat up these delusional until they left me with a stomachache.

Stomachache that made heartache look like a piece of cake.

A cake that had been baked in my mind for so long that it left me burned.

Now I'm stuck with a burn cake and stomachache to which my distance memories turned into another accessory for me to hold on to.
