Blood in Petals: Emotions That Bleed

Some emotions do not fade gently—they stain. Blood in Petals is a poetry and prose collection where tenderness and pain coexist, revealing how beauty often carries sharp edges.
These pieces explore love that wounds, hope that costs, and vulnerability that exposes more than intended. Petals symbolize softness, while blood marks consequence—together capturing the duality of feeling deeply. The writing does not seek comfort; it seeks honesty.
Rather than confessional excess, the voice remains controlled and precise. Each poem cuts cleanly, leaving space for the reader to feel rather than be told. Emotion is distilled, not explained. What bleeds does so quietly, with purpose.
The collection moves through desire, betrayal, resilience, and release, showing how emotional survival requires acknowledging what hurts without romanticizing it. Beauty here is not decorative—it is earned through truth.
Key themes explored include:
• Emotional vulnerability and consequence
• Love entwined with pain
• Beauty that carries cost
• Precision over excess
• Healing through acknowledgment
Blood in Petals is for readers who understand that the most honest emotions are rarely harmless—and that feeling deeply is both risk and strength.
