Romantically Defiant: Poetry is a collection for those who chose tenderness in a world that often rewards distance. These poems explore love in its many forms-connection, devotion, longing, imagination, and the quiet courage it takes to feel deeply. They speak to the moments where romance lives not in grand gestures, but in honesty, presence, and emotional truth. Written for readers who believe love does not make us weak, but brave, this collection honors softness without apology. The poems move through wonder, intimacy, memory, and hope-offering warmth rather than spectacle, reflection rather than performance. This is poetry for anyone who still believes in love, even after learning what it costs.
