  In ENDscape, I found myself writing about the experience of being lost, yet always yearning to be found. It reflects the desire to escape the darkness, even when a part of us is drawn to linger in it. Every corner of our minds holds a mirror to life’s most profound struggles. These poems delve into the weight of feeling trapped, the silent battles fought within the shadows of the soul, and the relentless yearning for an escape that always seems just beyond reach. Whether we confront these struggles head-on, evade them, or carry them silently within us, they are burdens we all bear. ENDscape seeks to capture the raw bursts of emotion that arise in these moments—haunting thoughts and feelings that emerge from deep within our own minds. It explores the inner turmoil that often intertwines with self-doubt, weaving a tapestry of the human experience. My Review Hydrus does it again...blows me away with his words! Not that I had any doubt as I am never disappointed by his work.  I ...

  Everyone deserves love, understanding, to be heard, and, above all, hope. As I began to write this book, penning thoughts and ideas about this very notion, I found myself in a place where the world sometimes appears overwhelmingly dark. I believe our minds and hearts resonate with that darkness too. Surrounded by negativity, often stemming from those around us, we may begin to doubt ourselves and our convictions. I hope that by reading this book, you can find some direction, motivation, or perhaps even inspiration. A glimmer of light during dark and challenging times. I hope you will recognize that we all possess our own beauty. That each and every one of us has the power to shape our own destinies, rewrite our own stories, and uncover the true beauty that resides within us all. There is so much to explore, see, and experience out there. Our own horizons are limitless and vast. We all deserve to venture and pursue our own happiness, and it begins with the infinite ways we need to...

  Will he ever be able to recover? Will he be able to find redemption or have a chance at finding true love again? Or will life just continue to ruin his hopes of finding true happiness. Sometimes the universe speaks to us in waves. Only to watch us drown in its infinite choir of noise. _hydrus My Review Christian's journey after his accident including the loss of Blair was felt heavily. It made Christian's perspective change. Every emotion that he experienced, I did too along with him. While the poetry gets me every time, it is the photographics that really drew me in and were the stars of this book; especially the ones that had no word.  I found myself just stopping and appreciating the photos. Even analogizing them...the angles, the lightening, the images, etc. Back to the story. Christian is hurt but he may recognize that his heart is not finished healing yet.

Where we discover a man's journey to answer these questions. “𝙻𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚐𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚜𝚘 𝚒𝚝 𝚌𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚝𝚊𝚔𝚎” and only his inner demons will keep him from his angels. _𝚑𝚢𝚍𝚛𝚞𝚜 My Review I have been wanting to read a poetry book by Hydrus for a while now. I finally got the chance to read this book. WOW! This book did live up to my expectations. This book is about love, lust, betrayal, heartache, and loneliness. Every one of these emotions were felt from the pores of my body. We have all experienced these emotions at some point in our lives. Yet, we may not have found the words to express how we felt. However, Hydrus did find a way to do so through this book and the stunning photography photos. I have never wanted to own a physical copy more. If the photos were beautiful on...
