The Folly of the Endless Mirror
We bend ourselves into reflections, hoping to be loved by every gaze. But the soul was never meant to shine in all directions. It was meant to root, to burn true, and to become whole by refusing the endless mirror. A contemplative poetic journey through selfhood, identity, and the quiet courage of choosing authenticity over…

Be Truly Present
Make love. Make tea. Skip small talk, choose real conversations. Bring home a plant and care for it. Make your bed, and someday, make someone else’s too. Be witty, be sharp. Run wild. Create art. Dive into the ocean. Dance under the rain. Take risks. Ask things. Fall, learn, rise. Know your value. Love deeply.…

The Revolution of Pausing: The Pause That Changes Everything #poetry
There comes a moment- perhaps in the space between one breath and the next, perhaps in the silence after hanging up the phone—when we finally stop. Not the stopping of exhaustion, but the stopping of choice, the radical act of saying: I will not move forward until I know why I’m moving, until I remember…

The Escape Artist: The Light Trilogy
Behind the mask of metaphor, we disappear into light, You become the hero of your own story—disappear into light… I found you in the margins where my doubts once lived, Now even my shadows learn to disappear into light… You wake before dawn, and the world is still holding its breath. The coffee maker gurgles…

What Would You Rather Have: Money or Fame?
I have walked through corridors of want, / Where shadows dance with golden light, / And whispered questions come to haunt / The chambers of my restless night. / Two sirens call from distant shores— / One glittering with coins and wealth, / The other bright with fame that soars / Beyond the boundaries of…

The Eternal Outfit
If I were condemned to singular cloth, sentenced to the same weave day after day, until the threads memorized my skin and my skin learned the language of cotton—I would choose denim. Not the pristine, factory-fresh blue that screams newness from store shelves, but the kind that whispers stories, that carries the archaeology of ten…

In the Stillness Between Us #poetry
In the quiet between breath and heartbeat, we build a world without masks — a space where laughter, vulnerability, and trust thread through the stillness. No games. No demands. Just two beings choosing each other, over and over, in freedom and raw, luminous truth.
