She does not chase the flame.

She is the flame.

Midnight Meanderings is a fierce, lyrical poetry collection for women who live and write in the margins-after midnight, before the world wakes, and long after the expectations have crumbled.

With themes of feminine strength, sensuality, insomnia, healing, and self-reclamation, this debut chapbook by T.L. Johnson pulses with emotional truth. Each poem is a soft dagger, stitched from moonlight, memory, and fire. Whether exploring shadowed beauty, late-night restlessness, or the quiet power of becoming, Johnson invites readers into a space where softness is not weakness-but survival.

Equal parts sensual and spiritual, Midnight Meanderings explores the ache of becoming, the weight of silence, and the unapologetic act of loving yourself in full volume. This is poetry for the wide awake-for the woman at her desk at 3 A.M., pen in hand, rewriting her story.

This isn't self-help.

It's self-return.

And every page dares you to stay.
