My Soliloquy: Sonnets of Love, Despair, and Everything Else

My Soliloquy: Sonnets of Love, Despair, and Everything Else is a deeply personal collection of 100 sonnets written over the course of a lifetime—not by a poet chasing perfection, but by a soul seeking clarity.

In these pages, Alex Baranda reflects on love in all its forms, heartbreak in all its shadows, and the quiet revelations that emerge from solitude. Each sonnet is a moment of emotional venting, a lyrical therapy session, a soliloquy whispered into the void.

From Despair, a raw meditation on grief, to [Forever] Beautiful, a modern echo of Shakespeare’s Sonnet 116, to Traveler, a poetic crossroads of wanderlust and soul-searching—this collection spans the spectrum of human experience. Glamour offers biting commentary on society’s obsession with beauty and the masks we wear to belong.

Whether you’re a lover of traditional verse or someone simply looking for honest emotion wrapped in rhythm and rhyme, My Soliloquy invites you to pause, reflect, and perhaps find your own voice in the silence between the lines.
