this boy is a rainbow: the storm: poems about love

It all began with the storm…

I watched you
pull our fading sun
down from the sky
and carry it away
over the horizon
as it was replaced
with a storm

Sam Payne’s debut poetry collection, this boy is a rainbow, is a raw and touching collection of poems about love, heartbreak, healing, and empowerment. It is the story of boy who lost love and thought he would never be whole again. Divided into three chapters, it follows his journey as he endures the storm, finds the sun, and becomes the rainbow. 

This is the first part of the collection—the storm—a preview of the full edition, which will feature over 200 new poems and illustrations. 

For fans of Rupi Kaur, Amanda Lovelace and Courtney Peppernell, comes an original collection about love, sexuality, grief, doubt, depression, survival, healing, self-love and empowerment.
