By J. P.

Leaves In Autumn is a book of unique poetry and thoughtful quotes. The author uses natural imagery, personal anecdotes and clever rhyme to tell the story of an individual who finds strength and meaning in all of life's brokenness. From quirky analogies to visceral depictions of struggles with mental health - this is a book for anyone who has ever tried to find some semblance of order in the chaos. Topics include love, heartbreak, loneliness, grief, regret and nostalgia. "I think it is the saddest thing to know that leaves in autumn do not ever show their true colours until they begin to die perhaps they are a lot like you and I" -------------------------------------------------- Poem Example 1 BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN (KINTSUGI): maybe you weren't meant to leave here unbroken maybe the scars on your heart are truth spoken like a map of light leading others out of the dark perhaps this is how you will make your mark and maybe you haven't lost your genuine smile because you live a life that makes all this suffering worthwhile Poem Example 2: DISSOCIATION I started on this train of thought more eager than I should and now I'm drifting off to space I feel misunderstood my words they briefly cling the air then fall to the spaces between you're giving me a hard blank stare and you don't know what I mean I'm dearly grasping on to place and time and circumstance but something left me with no trace and I am in a trance Poem Example 3: SILENT SCREAM you do not have to scream at the top of your lungs just to tell the truth a whisper is fine and actions more loud but voiceless words fall on blinded eyes when you keep the company of those who cannot see
