Synopsis
In this intimate blend of haikus, short poems, and razor-sharp reflections, Dem Blake dismantles silence and sculpts emotion with surgical precision. From heartbreak to power, seduction to betrayal, each piece is a glimpse into a mind that feels too deeply and trusts too rarely. This isn’t a book of love poems. It’s a book of control, release, and the soft war between wanting to be known—and refusing to be owned. These are the things he never said out loud. Until now.

Chapter 1 - Soft Blades

Haiku: 1 – Eyes

Your eyes don't ask much.They just study me too hardto ever feel safe. 

Poem: "Unread"

You never replied to the version of meI gave you.So I stopped sending him.Now you scroll past someonewho sees more than you admitand says less than you can handle.

One-line Reflection:

Flirting is the art of war disguised as a compliment.

Haiku: 2 – Control

I don't hold your hand.I just lean in close enoughfor you to wish I did.

Poem:"Blueprint"

I am made of calm things—steel in still water,mirrors that lie gently,and fire that doesn't ask permission to burn.

If you knew that,you would've kissed me with both eyes open.

Haiku: 3 – Distance

I don't fear silence.I fear the ones who can sitinside it with me.

Poem: "The Pause"

Before I answer,I let the question dieand ask itself again.

That's how I stay in control—by speaking secondand meaning more.

One-line Reflection:

Some people earn their mystery. Others wear it like perfume.
