Sorry I’ve been MIA on here. Dealing with mental health stuff. But I’m going live tonight on TT from 8:30-10 PM EST for our first Indie Author Hotline. My handle there is christophermtantillo. We talk all things writing, publishing, genres, etc. Ask us (or me) anything!

I’m dog sitting, away from home, and bored, so here we go. I do this on multi platforms and don’t want to spam your feed with non Bluesky ones. If you ask me from Bluesky, let me know so I only post Bluesky NGL’s here! 🫶🏼

"things we never got to share" is volume three of my poetry trilogy and is out now everywhere books are sold in hardcover, paperback, and ebook. The audiobook will be available sometime this winter. You can also get it from your local library! And I do sell signed copies.

What I would give
to be the linger
upon your lips
that quiver and
long and ache

Why would I go out and
soak up the sun when
I can stay in bed and
soak up all of you

What it is
to be but a
butterfly
that lands
upon her
skin—
to touch
beauty so
delicately
without ruin
and to be
admired in
return.

Today is Suicide Awareness and Prevention Day. For those who don’t know me, this is a cause I am very passionate about.

You are not alone. You are valid in your feelings, but you don’t have to feel them alone.

Please call/text 988, the crisis lifeline (US line).

She visited in a dream,
reminding me that
not even death
could diminish
—eternal and forever—
the love for a
Goddess

Taking a break from posting poetry for a few days. Sorry for anyone who has been following me mostly for that lately. We’ll get back to that next week.

But also:

Single 🤣🤣🤣

I don't know if you're the same person leaving these or you're all different, but it is SO nice and SO sweet. l often think my poetry is very safe and cliche and simple. I always feel a little invisible in my real life, so this means more than you probably think it does.
