Lost In The Black Garden's Of Sorrow by Jupiter Moon

This collection talks a lot of serious mental health issues and self harm, please be aware before reading my review or the collection yourself. Set in a garden, exploring various types and shades of flowers and the emotions or memories they provoke in a poetic story like manner. Some stand out poems of this collection to me were: Scars, as being a sign of fighting and remaining despite the pain you've endured. Silver Primrose, -Bandaged Heart, was a poem about relationships never being the same, good or bad, mixed, toxic, I personally heavily related and too, feel third time is lucky but you're still weary in trying, even then. Alcea Rosea -Abandoned Under the Bridge, about you feeling deeply for someone you love even if it's not always happy and positive. Plum Blossom -The Silence of Loneliness, was a poignant and reflective ending on how we can exist, crave connection and still, with or without, feel loneliness lingering like a curse in our lives. There were clever double meanings in the poems defined by text colour usage so the poems were a two of one almost and was a really clever more emotive way of expressing each poems deep running feelings.
