I just read a five-star book and I feel like it’s been so long since I have. Highly recommend this. It won’t be for everyone. But wow… just wow. This book will stay with me for a VERY long time. Haunting. Fascinating. Depressing. Existential. Hopeful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Premise in the comments!

That’s very true. One day. 🤞🏼🙌🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Thank you 🥹💜🥰🫶🏼

Ahh, thank you! 🥹💜🥰 I hope you like the second half. It’s very hit or miss for people. 😅🫠 And not yet but I’m hoping soonish 🫶🏼

I do! I have a day job in insurance until I can hopefully write full time. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

ngl.link/christopherm... Still on a mini-break. Hoping to be back soon. But sharing this one more time!

ngl.link/christopherm... Let’s do this again! I’ve been absent on this app for a while so, let’s get active!

I received this 5-Bark review from my friend’s corgi, Tater Tot, for volume one of my poetry trilogy “things i never got to tell you”. And if he loved it… then you need to check it out! #booksky #poetrysky #poetrybook

Sorry I’ve been MIA on here. Dealing with mental health stuff. But I’m going live tonight on TT from 8:30-10 PM EST for our first Indie Author Hotline. My handle there is christophermtantillo. We talk all things writing, publishing, genres, etc. Ask us (or me) anything!

“things we never got to share” is volume three of my poetry trilogy and is out now! (Recommended to read volumes one & two first) #booksky #poetrybook #poetrysky #poetry

I’m dog sitting, away from home, and bored, so here we go. I do this on multi platforms and don’t want to spam your feed with non Bluesky ones. If you ask me from Bluesky, let me know so I only post Bluesky NGL’s here! 🫶🏼 ngl.link/christopherm...

"things we never got to share" is volume three of my poetry trilogy and is out now everywhere books are sold in hardcover, paperback, and ebook. The audiobook will be available sometime this winter. You can also get it from your local library! And I do sell signed copies. #poetry #booksky

What I would give to be the linger upon your lips that quiver and long and ache #poetry

Why would I go out and soak up the sun when I can stay in bed and soak up all of you #poetry

What it is to be but a butterfly that lands upon her skin— to touch beauty so delicately without ruin and to be admired in return. #poetry

Today is Suicide Awareness and Prevention Day. For those who don’t know me, this is a cause I am very passionate about. You are not alone. You are valid in your feelings, but you don’t have to feel them alone. Please call/text 988, the crisis lifeline (US line). 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

She visited in a dream, reminding me that not even death could diminish —eternal and forever— the love for a Goddess #poetry

“things we never got to share”, volume three in a poetry trilogy, out now! #booksky #poetrysky #poetrybook #poetry

Taking a break from posting poetry for a few days. Sorry for anyone who has been following me mostly for that lately. We’ll get back to that next week. But also: Single 🤣🤣🤣

I don't know if you're the same person leaving these or you're all different, but it is SO nice and SO sweet. l often think my poetry is very safe and cliche and simple. I always feel a little invisible in my real life, so this means more than you probably think it does. 🥹🫶🏼🥰

Thank you so much! 🥹🥹🥹🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜

The final sample quotes from volume 3 of my poetry trilogy out now! #poetry #booksky #poetrybook #poetrysky

Still more quotes from volume 3 of my poetry trilogy that releases yesterday! #poetry #poetrybook #poetrysky #booksky

Even more quotes from Volume 3 I released today! #poetry #booksky #poetrybook #poetrysky

Thank you for saying that. I always hope my writing speaks to other people (even across oceans). That you feel seen and heard and have a voice. But I also like to treat others how I like to be treated. Don't you forget your light either. l can see it from here. 🥹🥹🥹 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

1. This is so hard to answer in this format. Truly. But I love to help out anyone who wants to get started in indie publishing or tips from my experience. If you’re comfortable with it, messsge me and we can talk about it! (1/2) continued in comments for picture #2

This has thankfully happened few and far between (for me). 😅😅😅 I would love to talk to you and get to know you more personally if you wish to know me personally outside of the content I post. But please do not send me unsolicited spicy pics or ask for them in return. (1/2) please read in comments

Happy Publish Day to my 5th published book, but 3rd collection of poetry: “things we never got to share” Volume 3 in a poetry trilogy Available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook. Volumes one and two are out now! I hope you love and cherish some of these poems as much as I do!

I love learning about people. Hearing their stories and pasts, how their experiences have shaped them, how they live their life and see the world. People can’t be replicated and they’re irreplaceable. We’re all so different and unique. Flawed, but beautiful. (1/2)⬇️⬇️⬇️

1. I am convinced some of you (or just one if it’s all the same person) is trolling me (jokingly, not in a mean way). But prove me wrong if I am. I dare you. 🤣 2. Yes! Been all over Italy, Aruba, Dominican Republic, etc. Would love to see more of Italy, Greece, etc. Love visiting historical places.

1. That sounds lovely… and peaceful. I’d really love that. Sounds like we might be endgame. 2. You’re hired! No interview necessary. You can start whenever. Just absolutely NO glitter. Not at all. It’ll trigger my OCD. Otherwise you’ll be both my sadness exterminator and my OCD trauma specialist.

What a question. My god. While I would love to answer you, do you need help? Why the bruised knees? Are you okay? Who hurt you? Who do I have to hurt for you? Why me? Should I call someone? I am very concerned.

1. Thank you 🥹🥹🥹 I needed that. 2. Spending time at my parents with my doggo (Benji). And I bet you’re just as if not more inspiring yourself. If you’re a writer or another artist of some kind. We need to be in order to share parts of ourselves with the world. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

I have a lot more spicy poetry that I don't post because outside of one post that some people liked, all of my other spicy posts either get no views, or the ones that do get high views get no engagement. So I just assume people don't enjoy them? 🥴 Or I'm not skilled enough to pull it off. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

1. Thank you 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 2. Short version: Just in a spiral of not liking myself very much. Plus old memories resurfacing. It’ll pass in a few days, just gotta see it through.

Been feeling very down lately. So instead of posting very angsty and emo poetry, let’s do this instead. Ask me your questions, whatever you want. ngl.link/christopherm...

Convincing you NOT to read my YA book (for fun), part 7(the finale): This book was SUPPOSEDLY based on real events. NOT a true story, as the author has made crystal clear. But true events. That everything that happens in this book has either happened to him directly or people in his life. (1/2)⬇️⬇️⬇️

“Obliterated” what have we done to us? what have we done to us? what have we done to us? we've r u i n e d Us su regnol on era ew won #poetry

You loved exploring abandoned places because it stilled the chaos in your head— was a peace in the beauty of what the earth reclaimed, like it would embrace you one day, too. We’d let our breaths condense— becoming a guest in a home we were merely allowed to rest for a few. (1/2)⬇️⬇️⬇️ #poetry

Today would have been a wonderful day to just curl up with you on the couch reading or watching something or sharing deep feelings over coffee and tea. Been in my feels all week (today is better), but still long for that quiet intimacy with you.

“Dear” Dear You, There is so much I never got to say the last time we were together— so much that has been bottled up. I hope that, wherever you are, this finds you well. We promised to keep the other updated. Here is everything I have to say— some of it is about you, and for that I'm sorry. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Don't forget the final book for this trilogy releases this Tuesday 9/2 and I'm doing a LIVE on TT for it. Will be my last 2025 release, and the last chance to win free signed books! "things i never got to tell you", volume one in a poetry trilogy, out now! Volume two is also out now. #booksky

Imagine: I come over with a coffee ordered to perfection cause I remembered every single nuance with obsession just to see the glow in your cheeks and glimmer in your eyes. You pull me in, I kick off my shoes. (1/2)⬇️⬇️⬇️ #poetry

Let’s tattoo each other forever. #poetry #poem #spokenword #spokenpoetry #poet

Convincing you NOT to read my YA romance book (for fun), part 6: This book is written in a poetic and lyrical style so the prose has ebbs and flows… but all it reads as to me is try-hard pretentious. The MMC waxes poetic SO much it borderlines eye-roll cringe. (1/2)⬇️⬇️⬇️ #booksky

To my future partner: We don’t yet know each other (or maybe we do) but I think we’ve been waiting for each other for a long time. We’ve both hurt and been hurt, we’ve masked and shrunk ourselves, and we’ve been loud and took up space. (1/2)⬇️⬇️⬇️ #poetry

“That Anxious Flutter When I Haven’t Heard from You in a Few Minutes” Got so used to talking to you day by day that it burned into my heart— my blood— the love that feels like clots boiling whenever we miss a connection. (1/2) ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #poetry
