The Wandering Soul

And me… I travel the old roads again and again, wearing a different life. In the quiet of dawn, when the world still slumbers, I become a wanderer. The ancient paths, etched by time and memory, beckon me. Each step is a whisper—a conversation with the ghosts of yesteryears. The cobblestones remember my footfalls, though they’ve crumbled and shifted. The gnarled oaks stretch their branches, as if reaching for secrets hidden in their leaves. The sun, rising like a golden lantern, casts shadows that dance with forgotten tales. I wear different skins—sometimes a weary traveler, sometimes a starry-eyed dreamer. My … Continue reading The Wandering Soul

Embracing Life’s Uncertainties

Who are you, little seed, to fathom the vast expanse of your tomorrows? How audacious it is to set your sights based solely on a bleak forecast. Are you not aware that the world viewed from a gray window is but a monochrome reflection of reality? What temerity it is to renounce the divine guidance of your journey, promising yourself only the sorrows of forthcoming seasons. Who are you to chart the course of life when you exist but to falter and learn? The deep roots are well-acquainted with the shadows, yet they draw sustenance from the light that filters … Continue reading Embracing Life’s Uncertainties

The Poetry Is My Faith, Love My Guide

My faith is my compass, guiding me through the labyrinth of life. It is not a faith bound by dogmas or doctrines, but one that finds its essence in the written word. I immerse myself in the ocean of poetry, letting the rhythmic waves cleanse my soul of its many sorrows. Each verse, each line, each word, is a droplet that washes away the dust of despair that clings to my spirit.

A Tribute to the Unspoken Heroes

There exist souls who communicate not through the spoken word, but through the silent language of their eyes. Their gazes, profound and eloquent, speak volumes, whispering secrets that words often fail to capture. They are the ones who, in the warmth of their embrace, reveal more than a thousand words ever could. Their hugs, a sanctuary of unspoken confessions, resonate with the rhythm of their hearts. There are those who weave beauty into the fabric of their sentences, stitching together fragments of thoughts and emotions with the delicate thread of their words. They are the poets of everyday life, their … Continue reading A Tribute to the Unspoken Heroes

Being Strong

In the quiet core of your being, listen. Listen to the salted caramel voices of the women within you. Their whispers are the echoes of a thousand generations, a symphony of strength and resilience. Their stories, heavy with wisdom and experience, paint vivid pictures on the canvas of your skin. This skin, it’s thick. Thick like the barriers we’ve crossed, the obstacles we’ve overcome. Thick like the borders we’ve birthed, the lines we’ve drawn in the sand to claim our space in the world. Thick like the borders we’ve burned, the constraints we’ve shattered in our quest for freedom. Yet, … Continue reading Being Strong

The Bridge of Laughter and Tears

In the quiet hours of our shared existence, we dream of a bridge—a fragile span woven from laughter and tears. It is not a bridge of stone or steel, but of ephemeral moments that bind us. One day, we will laugh until our bellies ache, our eyes crinkling at the corners. Our laughter will echo across the chasm, filling the void with joy. We’ll share secrets, silly jokes, and memories—the kind that linger like the scent of rain on warm earth. And then, when the world turns somber, we’ll cry. Not the quiet tears of solitude, but the kind that … Continue reading The Bridge of Laughter and Tears

The Odyssey of Becoming

Lovable, a foreign concept until now, whispered through the winds of change. It danced around me, an elusive waltz, until I dared to embrace its rhythm. I dared you to count the limitless ways I died and was born again. Each death a closing chapter, each rebirth a blank page filled with the ink of possibility. I threw tantrums, the universe my witness, as I shattered the cocoon of my former self. I gnawed and scratched my way out of myself to grow, to adapt to my potential. My cries were not of despair but of determination, echoing across the … Continue reading The Odyssey of Becoming

Clandestine Prose

In a world where retribution rules, an eye for an eye, a bullet for a bullet, a tooth for a tooth, the cycle of vengeance spins without end. Clandestine smugglers recite verses of deceit, not the sweet nothings of lovers. Their words burst through the silence of the night, restless echoes in the cold, dark streets. These are the souls disenchanted with any semblance of innocence, their lives a stark contrast to the purity they once knew. They wander between the cars, begging at the closed signals of society’s indifference, their eyes pierced with the sharpness of reality, like the … Continue reading Clandestine Prose

Hall of Fame Of This Life

In the library of existence, our lives are but volumes on the shelves of time. Each soul’s narrative, a unique composition, striving to etch its essence onto the parchment of reality. We are the authors, the protagonists, the critics of our own tales, fervently inscribing chapters with the ink of our choices, our joys, our sorrows. What worth is a life, one might ponder, devoid of a tale to recount? Yet, the value lies not in the grandiosity of the plot, but in the sincerity of its prose. For the monuments we seek, the legacies we yearn to leave behind, … Continue reading Hall of Fame Of This Life

A New Beginning

In the quiet solitude of dawn, I often find myself adrift in contemplation. The day, like a blank canvas, stretches out before me, its vast potential yet to be discovered. My weary bones, relics of a past steeped in trials and tribulations, yearn for the soothing balm of hope. I wonder, will this be the day when I finally shed the shackles of my past and embrace the promise of a new beginning? Each morning, as my eyes flutter open, I am greeted by a world teeming with possibilities. Will the sun, in all its radiant glory, pierce through the … Continue reading A New Beginning
