Woke up on the wrong side of the universe by Nick F. Hawkins

A delicious collection of poetry and prose from a different perspective. I absolutely loved the theme which the author used to build the story. It is so dreamy and intellectually stimulating. If I could, I would make an artwork for every piece he wrote. They're quite unforgettable and well-crafted.

The illustrations in between are also simply breathtaking. Very few poets capture my attention, but Nick easily does it with his galactic and romantic theme.

Here are some of my favorite lines:

"Woke up on the

Wrong side of the universe,

Sleeping beneath the covers

Of a cozy curse,

This society is knitted into a quilt

Of fabricated morals,

Although I'm woven from

A different cloth,"

-Woke up on the wrong side of the universe

"My soul is a fragment

Of mars,

If I conjure to her love...

I will be lost among the stars,

I want but I don't need,

Because if I proceed

I won't breathe,

No oxygen in space to

Even bleed,

Her love would be

Nice but I would

Rather be free,"

-Tormented Ecstasy

"I met the moon next

To the river,

The same night I found my

Heart in the middle of the winter,

A cold pleasure as I shivered,

Time was lost and absent,

Yet the atmosphere shined

With glitter, "

-Extraterrestrial

"I woke up in the

The body of mars,

Trusting the universe

To deliver a potential beloved,

Energetically connected

With the stars,

Driven by desire and fear

Yet partially tarnished, "

-Lost in Dark Matter

The poetries are so aesthetically pleasing and artistically-inspiring. I would definitely love to make my own interpretations of them. Anything related to stars and outer space are of extreme interest to me.
