Some Dried Flowers — A Poem on Memory, Loss, and the Fragrance That Remains

Unmarked by His Scales: His T-Shirt Reads “Humanist”
His T-shirt reads humanist, and on his desk the polished brass scales gleam with practiced certainty. One by one he drops his uniform stones — ping on ping — and the beam tilts against all my words. None bear the mark of his name. Yet beyond the window, rivers refuse rulers, clouds cross the sun…

What Writing Gives Me That Nothing Else Does
There are things I cannot say in a room full of breathing bodies. They turn to vapor before they reach my mouth. But when I sit before a blank page, something in me loosens.

The Questions I Am Afraid to Answer
Even in drought, the river remembers. Beneath cracked earth and sun-split stone, a silver memory waits— of currents that once roared without apology, of banks that trembled under the weight of abundance. What looks empty is only gathering breath. What seems broken still carries the map of its own flood. #WriteAPageADay #FreeVerse #InnerJourney #NatureMetaphor #CosmicAwareness…

There are days that pass like unnoticed birds, and then there is one that rests inside me like a small, steady sun.

A Compliment I Never Forgot
I was not looking for it. That matters. The compliment arrived the way dew does—already there when I noticed the morning.

A Rule I Broke to Find My Own Orbit That Worked in My Favor
