Arms reaching out to your glass...

Don't worry...

I won't squeeze it too tight...

I don't want something so precious to shatter...

Hello all! This is C.M.Crain and this is my second poetry collection. 

I first want to give everyone a big thanks for the major support. As I mentioned in "The Raven's Hymn," I never really thought of myself as a poet. But being able to put forth the effort to write every day and seeing the support you guys have put out gives me the fuel I need to continue writing. Again I really appreciate the support.

Sub Genre: Horror. The truth is the world's greatest fear.

The Illicit Limbs is a poetry collection based on emotions. Whatever emotion I was feeling the day I wrote the poem is the emotion I'm portraying. I could be feeling dark, sad, lonely, or lost. There are a plethora of emotions I go through daily. Writing helps me express them in many ways I can't explain honestly.

Each of these poems is written in pros formatting, but they're all free verse. I feel that with the freedom to make poems the way I want them gives me space for much creativity with the flow of the poems.

This poetry collection is a step up from my first one. I honestly feel that my writing evolves each day that I write. I'm most certainly proud of it.

The things I want the reader to take away from this collection is not only the emotion but the mindset they're in when they read it. What trip does each poem take you on? Are they chill to you? humorous? dark? Can you relate to it? 

With that in mind, there are a few things to note before I head off.

1: There is mature content in some of these poems. Sex, violence, drugs, blood, etc.

2: Copyright: None of the material in this collection is to be used for plagiarism, or any other illegal activities. Doing such will result in heavy consequences.

3: The cover of this collection is made by myself.

And with that, I'll head off for now. I really hope you enjoy this poetry collection. If you want, please message me if you have any critique.

Thank you and please enjoy!
