Dear Fellow Sojourner,
This collection took eleven years to gather the courage to speak. Every poem is a map: where I broke, where I healed, where I chose love again. I do not want to be lost to time. I am leaving a trail you can follow.
Poetry Has All My Pain is catharsis. It carries the silence I could not say out loud until now.
Love Through the Eyes of a Naive Village Boy is devotion. It is wonder, longing, and the slow wisdom that turns feeling into covenant.
Read these like letters from someone who trusts you. Let them sit with you. If you have ever struggled to name what you feel, may these lines lend your silence a voice.
With love, always,
Vic’Adex

A Sneak Peak
Poetry is how I journal. It is how I cope with both brutal and happy realism. I build bridges between tenderness and truth, faith and feeling, pain and the possibility of joy.

Voices from Readers
I saw myself on every page. These poems do not flatter. They tell the truth beautifully.
Like a quiet prayer that learns how to sing.
Love Through the Eyes of a Naive Village Boy is a celebration of affection in all its manifestations; it is tender, sincere, and unabashedly romantic. Vic'Adex expresses the complicated sweetness and agony of youthful longing in everything from secret love letters and innocent crushes to sacred bridal intimacies and letters to future wives. This collection is an ode to vulnerability, where geography reflects the breadth of affection, science lessons become metaphors for desire, and simple words become prayers of devotion.
Every layer displayed the naivety and vulnerability that comes with laying your heart and body bare—to love and experience the intricacies of loving wholeheartedly regardless. It’s personal yet universal, these verses remind us that the hunger for love is unending—and in the honesty of this author’s eyes, we may rediscover pieces of our own.
This collection speaks to anyone who has ever loved with abandon, lost in silence, or held on to love as both rebellion and survival. Each poem lingers like a mirror, reflecting the sweetness of young affection, the sting of heartbreak, and the stubborn hope that love remains redemptive.
Poetry Has All My Pain is a book that dares to reveal wounds that most people would prefer to keep hidden. It is a beautifully raw, unfiltered, and haunting collection of poems that explores the themes of political unrest, fractured fatherhood, broken love, and suicidal thoughts with lots of fire and vulnerability. Each poem feels like a reckoning — with lineage, faith, death, and the self. This is poetry that doesn’t just speak; it bleeds, screams, and whispers its way into the soul of the reader.
Love Through the Eyes of a Naive Village Boy is a lyrical journey through longing, heartbreak, and hope. These poems carry the raw wonder of first love and the bruises of lessons learned too soon. With innocence clashing against reality, I find the voice within these pages, tender and unflinching, playful and sacred.
