Nikki Giovanni Poetry

After transmigrating into the era of the Three Kingdoms, I find myself as the young Yuan Shu, a figure often criticized for his ambition and missteps. Upon awakening the Prodigal System, I discover its unique features: Level 1: For every 100,000 coins squandered, I gain an attribute point. Level 2: Unlocking the Reputation Store allows me to exchange reputation points for treasures. Level 3: Accessing the Legendary General Inheritance Panel grants me the legacy of Xiang Yu, the renowned Overlord of Western Chu. In this world, my companions are notable figures: Cao Cao: A formidable warlord and my troublesome friend. Diao Chan: My cousin, famed for her beauty. Cai Wenji: My junior sister, celebrated for her literary talent. In Luoyang City, I am recognized as a distinguished noble scion. At poetry gatherings, I am hailed as the foremost scholar with unparalleled talent. On the battlefield beneath Hulao Pass, I stand as an invincible, peerless general. In the hearts of the people, I am revered as the savior who rescues the suffering and aids the needy. I am Yuan Gonglu, the Greedy Wolf of Chaos. As a young hero in light robes, I revel in wine and song within Luoyang City. With the system's main quest now established, my ultimate goal is clear: to unite the Three Kingdoms, leave an indelible mark in history, and usher in a glorious era.

Year, 2025. The surface of the world seems ordinary but holds chaos below its serene disguise. Serial killers, demons, and supernatural beings stalk their victims into a dark end, their crime hidden by governments. A hidden organization called The Vanguard protects humankind. Its members, working in the dark, have skills, ancient relics, and highly advanced technology. They hunt and bring out to the open these dark creatures. When a series of brutal murders points to an ancient demon cult, an elite team of operatives is dispatched to investigate. Each member of the team brings with them a unique ability and a haunted past: Nicolai, the soldier turned tracker; Dana, the mathematician who bends probabilities; Nikkie, the mimic with a knack for deception; Elie, the physicist wielding the power of decay; AJ, the tech genius crafting devices to trap the unthinkable; Jan, the shadow manipulator with a price to pay; Krist, the body-bending brawler; and Lykan, the seer burdened by glimpses of a fractured future. They would unravel all the secrets behind the cult until they found the real conspiracy behind their threats towards a fragile equilibrium of humanity with the supernatural world. In such a world, where lines of predator and prey blurred into each other, the Vanguard needed to conquer the fears both against the monster and with one another.

"Let me take a look." Professor Wright’s voice was calm, professional even, but his touch—steady and assured as he lifted me onto the desk—was anything but ordinary. His hands, broad and strong, lingered just a moment too long on my arm as he steadied me, sending an unwelcome but undeniable shiver down my spine. I swallowed hard, trying not to notice the way his tie loosened slightly as he leaned in or the faint scent of cedarwood and worn pages that seemed to follow him everywhere. He was close enough now that I could see the faint worry lines etched into his brow as he carefully slid the strap of my uniform off my shoulder. "Alina," he said softly, his voice low but tinged with exasperation, "why do you always end up hurt?" His fingers ghosted over the darkened skin near my collarbone, examining it with the precision of someone who cared too much but tried not to show it. "You need to stop being reckless," he murmured, his tone shifting, softer now. "If anyone bullies you again, come to my office, and I’ll deal with them." It was a simple offer, but I had to remind myself, loudly and firmly, that this was my professor. The man responsible for my education, not... whatever my mind was trying to turn him into. "Professor Wright," I started, trying to regain control of the situation—and my racing heart. "This really isn’t a big deal. I can handle myself." His jaw tightened ever so slightly, and for a fleeting moment, I thought he might argue. Instead, he stepped back, his hands falling away from me as if realizing they’d overstayed their welcome. --------------------------------------------------------------- Alina Hart, a sharp-tongued high school senior, hides behind sarcasm and wit to mask the pain of fractured family life. Shipped off to a prestigious boarding school by a father who no longer sees her, Alina struggles to find her place in a world of strict rules and academic expectations. Enter Professor Cristiano Wright, a 27-year-old literature teacher whose calm demeanor and sharp intellect make him both an enigma and a fascination. Tasked by Alina’s older brother Ethan to keep an eye on her, Wright finds himself drawn to the complexity beneath her rebellious exterior. In the backdrop of Shakespearean sonnets and Romantic poetry, Alina and Wright navigate an increasingly fraught connection. What begins as reluctant mentorship soon transforms into a tangled web of forbidden emotions, unspoken words, and an undeniable pull that neither can ignore. Set against the bustling corridors of an urban high school and the quiet corners of a library filled with unspoken confessions, Silent Flames, Forbidden Paths explores the fine line between admiration and desire, duty and vulnerability. As Alina and Wright grapple with their feelings, they must confront their moral boundaries and the cost of their choices. Can they maintain the lines they’ve drawn, or will their emotions blur them beyond recognition?

—ella fue elegida porque era su derecho desde el principio...—Una vez en una rara ocasión, la noche de una luna llena azul, una niña es llevada de una casa para servir a las bestias que se hacen llamar hombres lobo. Los hombres lobo eran los que gobernaban el pueblo y todo lo controlaban. Parecían humanos pero, bajo su fachada humana, había un monstruo despiadado que buscaba destruir. Todos intentaban protegerse, pero en el fondo sabían que no eran rival para los hombres lobo. Arianne era una niña que había nacido diferente a las demás personas del pueblo. Tenía el cabello largo y rojo y había nacido con ojos de diferente color. Uno verde y uno marrón. Nadie sabía por qué había nacido así y no era hereditario. Su madre también murió durante su parto y, por eso, su padre, Massimo, se distanció de ella y decidió volver a casarse. Se casó con una mujer llamada Christine que ya tenía una hija fuera del matrimonio, Rissa. Juntas, Rissa y Christine decidieron hacerle la vida un infierno a Arianne, mientras su padre les daba la espalda. Por esto, Arianne decidió alejarse de su familia y de la sociedad. Llegó el día de la selección y Rissa fue elegida para servir a los hombres lobo. Aterrorizada por su vida, Rissa decidió persuadir a su madre para convencer a Massimo de ofrecer a Arianne para la selección. Ignorando sus súplicas y lágrimas, Massimo ofreció a Arianne para servir a los hombres lobo. Nadie sabe realmente qué sucede con las chicas que son seleccionadas y a nadie le importa preguntar. Sin saber el destino que le espera, Arianne decide ir a servir al hombre lobo al que llaman Ivan Giovanni, un alfa conocido por su crueldad. ¿Podrá Arianne sobrevivir viviendo entre hombres lobo? ¿Qué sucede cuando descubre más sobre su identidad y la única persona que puede ayudarla es Ivan? ¿Qué crees que sucederá si descubre que Ivan era el niño al que salvó hace tantos años de morir?

"she was chosen because she was his right from the very beginning..." Once on a rare occasion, the night of a blue full moon, a girl is being taken from a household to serve the beasts who call themselves werewolves. The werwolves were the one who ruled the town and controlled everything. They looked human but buried under their human facade was a ruthless monster who seeks to destroy. Everyone tried to protect themselves but deep down they knew they were no match for the werewolves. Arianne was a little girl who was born different from other people in the town. She had long red hair and she was born with different coloured eyes. One green and one brown. No one knew exactly why she was born that way and it wasn't hereditary. Her mother also died during her child birth and because of that her father, Massimo distanced himself from her and chose to remarry instead. He married a woman called Christine who already had a child out of wedlock, Rissa. Together Rissa and Christine decided to make Arianne's life hell to which her father turned a blind eye to and because of that, it affected Arianne and she decided to withdraw herself from her family and the society. The day of the selection came and Rissa was selected to go and serve the werewolves. Scared for her life, Rissa decided to persuade her mother to convince Massimo to offer Arianne up for the selection. Ignoring her screaming pleas and tears, Massimo offered up Arianne to go and serve the werewolves. No one really knows what happens to the girls that are being selected and no one bothered to ask. Not knowing the fate that awaits her, Arianne decided to go and serve the werewolf who they call Ivan Giovanni, a alpha who is known for his ruthlessness. Can Arianne survive living among werewolves? What happens when she finds out more about her identity and the only person who could help her was Ivan? What do you think will happen if she finds out that Ivan was the boy she had saved all those years ago from dying? NOTE: I DO NOT OWN THE COVER IMAGE OF THIS BOOK. IMAGE WAS FOUND ON PINTEREST.

He was not just a thief; he was an alchemist, transmuting my breath, my sanity, my lips, my very essence into a fantastical reverie.

Lena returns to her childhood neighborhood, only to find it teetering on the edge of dramatic change. The old bookstore, once a bustling hub of cultural exchange, has lain dormant for years. Now, as gentrification creeps in and small businesses struggle to survive, Lena dreams of reviving this intimate space into a vibrant center for art, learning, and conversation. Through the hesitant trust of a wary shopkeeper, the untapped potential of a young musician torn between art and social media fame, and the gentle wisdom of a retired teacher, Lena learns that community bonds are as fragile as they are essential. Together, they attempt to break the cycle of indifference and disconnection—one poetry reading, mural painting, and open-mic night at a time. "Whispers Between the Shelves" offers an uplifting exploration of resilience, dialogue, and the quiet power of cultural spaces in an urban environment. It’s a journey that celebrates the courage needed to rewrite a neighborhood’s narrative, one reader, one story, and one conversation at a time.

This is my thing, my irrational thoughts, my unstable emotions, written into a poem to be controlled, so don't worry, and get angry, cause these are my humble and not so intelligent morale values, so sit back and enjoy the work of this humble one.

Throughout history, certain individuals have left an indelible mark on the world they lived in. These figures rose above the chaos of their times, leaving behind legacies that shaped kingdoms and empires, some rising to greatness, while others crumbled into obscurity. In every era, there are those whose influence is undeniable—some revered, others feared. The title of Conqueror is reserved for those who wield unstoppable power—figures of absolute dominance who are both admired and dreaded. A conqueror’s name echoes through history, forever etched as a force that could bend nations to their will. In a world where mystic power came from nature, where people harness this nature into tools of calligraphy, arts, poetry, music and others as a form of powers—holding the key to possible and creative powers, the Ming Dynasty is on the brink of looming disaster as it ignored the threat of a conqueror. Amidst a turbulent era of war and political chaos, the emperor and his court ignore a dire warning of a rising conqueror, too consumed with internal strife and external threats to take action. The second prince, determined to perform in the stage of the Ming Dynasty, takes the conqueror matters into his own hands. With the possibility of the crown’s future at stake, having the emperor being ill, he forms an unlikely alliance of criminals from the royal prison, as last effort, offering them a chance at freedom in exchange for one final mission: to kill thy conqueror.

A desperate sacrifice, a heart of stone, and a love that dare not speak its name." In a world where poverty and desperation reign, 17-year-old Salma's life is a constant struggle. Orphaned by circumstance, bullied by her peers, and weighed down by her family's crushing debt, she's forced to confront the harsh realities of her existence. With her father's failing heart and mounting medical bills, Salma's elder brother Omar takes a catastrophic risk, stealing from the ruthless Mr. Armando Giovanni Paolo, the infamous Don of Italy's most powerful mafia. The consequences are dire, and Salma is left with an impossible choice: surrender herself to the merciless Don or watch her family succumb to ruin. As Salma becomes embroiled in the Don's world of luxury and violence, she's subjected to physical and emotional abuse, treated as nothing more than a pawn in his game of power. Yet, despite the darkness that surrounds her, Salma's indomitable spirit refuses to break. Will the Don, notorious for his heartlessness, find himself transformed by Salma's unwavering courage and resilience? Or will his bitterness and anger consume them both?

R18. The consequences of sex ripple through a lifetime for four college-aged friends, Ruby, Coral, Josh and Luke. Steamy, juicy, racy, yet sensually romantic. Let’s start with wistful Luke, your reflective narrator—the shy watcher. Next, the lovey-dove Coral, the group's collective adhesive. A modern girl with a regency heart, whom Ruby has the hots for. God, she is gorgeous. Coral’s action boyfriend, over-eager Josh, is a hunk who only has sex on his mind and is hopeful Coral will be his first! And risqué Ruby. The little minx is sassy, sharp, conniving, and considering getting inked as the story commences. There is plenty of wayward troupe fun and raucous laughs through high school and college in 1970s Melbourne. Whoops, an overdose of selfishness by everyone at eighteen, and relationships mess because pleasure ignited by pleasure’s ignition is always a pleasure for two or more until someone muddies it with words or actions. So, adult theme warning, erotic impulses are indulged. However, they generate contemplative introspection on friendship, passion, self-centeredness, cheating, brooding, contrition, resilience and love over the next forty years. The story unfolds like recall, intentional or spontaneous, rolling in and out of our minds, non-chronologically. Our yearnings are tattooed under our skin. From there, they will swell back. Ready, set, go, read the ripples! Author Note: The novel is complete, and all 133 chapters will be uploaded and remain unlocked. Dedication For anyone who gifts a second chance Epigraph “all those kids” It is attributed to H.S.Truman, by Henry A. Wallace, diary entry of 10 August 1945. Acknowledgement To the women who shaped my contemplative life and the women, I owe contrition. To my wife, who frames the frame of my life and my daughters, who asked me the perennially unanswerable questions about love and relationships, which triggered me to write the story.

Synopsis: The Architect’s Gambit “Oh, don’t look at me like that. You’ve never met a psychopath before? A sociopath? Please. Call me The Architect. It sounds classier, doesn’t it? I know, I know—you’re not here for me. You want to know about Giovanni Sungwo, don’t you? The struggling little mortal from Velmont, desperate to escape the filth of his pathetic existence. Let me spoil it for you: Giovanni thinks he’s playing my game. Thinks he can use my System, my power, to claw his way out of the gutter and become some multi-billionaire, king of industry, or whatever nonsense his fragile mind dreams up. He’ll even try to justify it, call it survival, say it’s for his precious mother or his faraway sister. But I’ll let you in on a little secret—he’s not special. None of them are. He’s just another pawn. Another fool who will dance when I pull the strings. Watch him. Watch as he dupes himself (literally), manipulates markets, and tries to bend the world—and me—to his will. Think he’ll win? Think he’ll survive the alien glyphs, the intergalactic powers watching his every move, or the tiny voice whispering in his mind that maybe, just maybe, I’m right? Oh, you poor thing. You’ve already lost. Go on. Read his story. Cheer for him. Hope for his success. I’ll be here, laughing. It’s what I do best.”

This is not a full on novel, rather an anthology of my poetry mostly about love over the years, Volume 1 is the better poetry and volume 2 is everything that’s not what I consider my quality poetry but still sharing it anyway. this explores mostly sad and angry themes featuring heartbreak so read at your own discretion
