The collection's themes center on existential struggle, isolation, and the search for meaning in a world that feels both oppressive and indifferent. The poems explore the tension between inner conflict and outward expression, where the act of writing, reflection, and connecting with nature serves as both a sanctuary and a reminder of deeper emotional turmoil. There is a desperate yearning for freedom, whether through self-expression, the fleeting beauty of nature, or the longing for connection, yet this is often tempered by a pervasive sense of inescapable isolation and self-doubt.

The struggle with identity, self-sacrifice, and personal suffering runs through the poems, creating a haunting, introspective atmosphere. The collection as a whole conveys a dark, reflective tone, where moments of fleeting clarity or beauty are overshadowed by an undercurrent of loss, sacrifice, and an existential yearning.

This collection delves into the powerful emotions that shape our lives-love, loss, and the strength to rise above. Through vivid imagery, the poems explore the enduring bonds of affection, the resilience born from hardship, the melancholy of minds, and the personal growth that comes from embracing both light and shadow. With themes of empowerment, self-love, and connection, the poems invite readers into a world where devotion stands against the tide of adversity, where the heart learns to heal and transform, and where love is both a refuge and a force of change.

I loved him. Being in love with someone toxic for you fucking sucks. He'd hurt me, then apologize, break me, then hold me. It wastoxic.. But it was the most real love I'd ever had. He was my everything and I was his. I don't think I'll ever let you go and I will stop at NOTHINGuntil I bring you back...

The journey goes on.

"LOST IN THE HAZE OF DAWN"— a hauntingly beautiful exploration of shattered dreams, silent screams, and the unyielding resilience of the human heart.

Just my imagination.

The Second Coalition War (80-98 EH) was fought 265 years after the conclusion of the First Coalition War.

Due to the the unification of Upper Empyrea into the Umbracresti-Estrinite-Glacian-Narcissian Archregion (UEGNA) under Archcountess-Khatun Vega Calliope Ego by marriage, inheritance and alliances, the other regions dissolved UEGNA seats on CEDA and formed the Cerulean-Vorantine-Aqulio-Pheasantine Union (CVAPU) in response.

After Vega abdicated in 78 EH, her twenty year son is crowned Archcount-Khagan Urlic IV & I Ego-Estrin-Romanakov of Umbracrest, Estrin, Glacier and Narciss. Urlic is more aggressive than his mother and the other regions declare war on the Archregion....

The Grand Army requires some understanding for this book to make any sense to you (the Grand Fleet is simply 308 Airships / Aeronautical Craft divided into 7 Fleets of 44.)

■ Combatant Command = 10 Million troops under the Marshal of the Grand Army.□ Army Group = 2.5 Million troops under a Grand-General.● Field Army = 625,000 troops under a Lieutenant General.○ Corps = 156,250 troops under a Grand Warlord.▪︎ Division = 31,250 troops under a Warlord.• Brigade = 6,250 troops under a War Brigadier.° Company = 1,250 troops under a Captain.Platoon = 125 troops under an Ego Lieutenant.Troop = 25 troops under a Lord Sergeant-Major or Colour Sergeant.Squad = 5 Troops under a Lance Corporal.

With that out of the way, you can expect: politics, battles, strategy, death, marriage, destruction and many other things.

A little bit of Geography now:

UEGNA Regions:

The West - Umbracresti Commisarate

The Northwest (Archipelago) - Estrin Dominion

The North - Glacier Electorate

The Northeast - Earldom of Narciss (Capital region)

CVAPU:

The East - Second Pheasantine Republic

The Southeast - Meritocracy of Aquiloria

The South - Technocracy of Vorantis

The Southwest - Theocratic Confederacy of Cerulea

The first two chapters are set slightly before the Second Coalition War started.

Enjoy!
