Reviews

beautiful but sad collection of poems


(5 stars)

Poems are well written with beautiful imagery but tone of despair. The reader expressed the poems well. Very good reader.

I was hunting


(5 stars)

I was hunting for something like this... or it was haunting me all across until this... anyways now, no parting from it.


(1 stars)

very depressing and read with a voice to match
