Author: Scott Burton

Scott Burton is a writer and artist from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, whose work is rooted in raw honesty, emotional survival, and the haunting beauty of what lingers long after love or loss. A dreamer by nature and a romantic to a fault, his poetry spans decades and carries the weight of lived experience… Thousands of pieces that speak what couldn’t be said out loud. His writing walks the tightrope between ruin and reverence, reaching into themes of longing, emotional vulnerability, missed chances, and the ache of memory. He writes in free verse, often in a stream- of-consciousness style, allowing the poem to breathe and break as a heart does — unpolished, unguarded, and always reaching. Scott is the author of Forever is Tomorrow, a deeply personal collection revisited in a newly expanded edition, and the currently releasing ten-volume Chaos series, which chronicles the emotional anatomy of being human. His work isn't interested in perfection — it’s about truth, even when that truth hurts. His ongoing creative identity also lives under the moniker ks.bleeds.ink, where art and vulnerability continue to meet on the page. His writing remains a kind of devotion — to love, to memory, to all that lingers after the moment has passed but refuses to let go.
