am i
scared to risk it all
on my dreams
or is it just a fear
of flying in
places where i will
be seen by others
who can judge me
— so critically

books

when the muse speaks

In this book the Muse seeks to be heard; the poet is merely a vessel for her to speak. Her voice crosses all boundaries and is the embodiment of human experience whether pleasant or painful. She speaks to tell the stories for the unheard, unseen, and/or misunderstood. Voices in this book range from love and infidelity to dreams and race relations. As you read and the Muse speaks to you directly, listen with your heart not your head.

"Absolutely worth the read!" - G.M., Amazon Review"The perfect explanation for feelings not easily expressed." - T. Zautner, Amazon Review"Everything has purpose. Every word has meaning. Every theme is a bridge to enlightenment." - Devin Joseph Metz, Amazon Review"She is able to articulate moments we all can relate to in life." - K.A., Amazon Review

excerpt:

from the poem: beyondI sit under the twilight
wrapped in peaceful waters
gazing at purple skies
perfect plans are best viewed at night
looking up into Heaven
knowing the Creator
makes no oversights
my mind is free to dream
and my pen is free to write......

books

love & ink: reason

Kiana Donae’s first poetry collection is a journey of experiences inspired from her personal life. It was through her love of writing poetry that she was able to convey her thoughts and emotions in times of both chaos & calm. Poetry became an escape; the light on a path to mental clarity and freedom. Love & Ink is… in part, the reason for her healing.

love & ink: reflections

Next in the Love & Ink series is a personal journey of growth, hope & emotion. Poems in this collection have been touted as: intuitive, passionate, and cover themes that explore issues sometimes considered taboo. Thought provoking and soul stirring poetry, Reflections, will cause you to examine yourself in its mirror of verses. What can you see in your own reflection?

cultivating ink

This is a book for poets and poetry lovers full of creative methods to write beautiful stanzas. A collection of poetry written during April for NaPoWriMo over multiple years. Prompts were used to explore a plethora of styles, formats, topics and more as a way of tending the poetic garden & enticing growth. Nothing grows without a little love and a lot of cultivating.
