"Late Nights and Early Mornings" is a poetry collection that speaks to the heart of modern love in all its digital-age complexity. From the anticipation of that first notification to the quiet victory of healing after heartbreak, these poems capture the raw, unfiltered emotions we only admit in the hours between midnight and dawn.
Through six carefully crafted sections - The Beginning, Falling, Doubts & Desires, The Storm, Healing, and New Dawn - the collection follows the full arc of contemporary relationships. Interspersed throughout are timestamped "Midnight Thoughts," those authentic fragments of emotion we type into our phones at 3 AM, when truth speaks loudest.
Written from the unique perspective of Asha, these poems offer both a fresh voice in modern poetry and a deeply universal exploration of how we love today. Each verse transforms familiar moments - crafting the perfect text, overthinking a read receipt, unfollowing an ex - into profound meditations on connection, loss, and the courage to begin again.
This isn't traditional love poetry. It's for the dating app generation, for the overthinkers, for anyone who's ever typed and deleted a message a hundred times. It's for those who know both the anxiety of waiting for a reply and the peace found in final acceptance. Most importantly, it's for anyone who's ever felt alone in their feelings at 2 AM, proving that even in our most isolated moments, our experiences are universally human.
Perfect for fans of contemporary poetry that blends raw emotion with modern experience, this collection reminds us that while the way we love may have evolved, the heart's journey remains timeless.
