The Myth of Electric Love

They say love makes the world spin round, but I tell you, it’s not the dizzying whirl of infatuation that keeps the stars aligned. You can want someone, dear, with a fire that consumes you from the inside out. You can want them until your very soul feels raw, exposed to the elements of desire. That kind of longing—it’s like water electrified by a live wire, a frenzied dance of molecules, chaotic and unrestrained. It can transform you into the hand that grips that wire, feeling the surge of energy, mistaking it for destiny. But that doesn’t mean it’s right. … Continue reading The Myth of Electric Love

A Day of Awakening

There lies a hope inside my poor heart —a yearning for a day when the world shifts on its axis, when the sun rises with a different hue, and when compassion becomes the currency of our souls. Wouldn’t it be a most awesome day when the self-proclaimed Christians—the bearers of the cross—truly heeded the whispers of their Savior? When they stepped out of stained-glass sanctuaries and into the gritty streets, their footsteps echoing the ancient path of love and justice. Imagine them, these modern-day disciples, casting aside the shackles of indifference. Their eyes no longer averted from the downtrodden but … Continue reading A Day of Awakening

The Alchemy of the Heart

In the quiet chambers of the heart, where whispers echo and secrets dwell, there is a rhythm—a gentle cadence of giving. It is a heart that breathes life, not with the force of a tempest, but with the softness of a zephyr, so as not to hurt. Put Love into our hands, for they are the crucibles of our humanity. They divide, not to diminish, but to multiply—to share the warmth of a touch, the comfort of a grasp. In this division, we find the arithmetic of compassion, where every act of kindness multiplies, spreading like ripples across the surface … Continue reading The Alchemy of the Heart

Prose about the beauty of words

At 2:54 a.m., let me craft verses that strip away the veils of the mundane, words that stand unadorned, unashamed in their truth, barer than the flesh that whispers secrets in the dark. Let these syllables be the architects of strength, fortifying the spirit beyond the steadfastness of bone, weaving resilience into the fabric of our being, more enduring than the sinew that binds us. Let my prose touch you with the delicacy of a lover’s caress, with a sensitivity that trembles at the brush of nerve against the world’s canvas, painting emotions in hues so vivid, they leave the … Continue reading Prose about the beauty of words

Prayer For The Poetry In Me

In the serene dusk of being, where the world often presents its harsh realities, there lies a tender prayer to the great architect of the Universe, the guardian of life’s mysteries. “Father,” whispers the soul, yearning for guidance through life’s labyrinth, “may my eyes, those windows to the vibrant hues of dreams and wonders, never be shrouded by the bitter frost that life can sometimes breathe upon us.” For in the poetry of life, we find solace, a rhythm that beats in harmony with our heart’s deepest desires. It is the poetry that paints our experiences in shades of hope, … Continue reading Prayer For The Poetry In Me

Living is a political act …

In the shadow of conflict, where the tumult of war echoes through the annals of history, there lies a stark reminder of our collective failure to converse, to compromise, to connect. “War exists where politic does not work…” you muse, and in this somber reflection, there is an acknowledgment of the breakdown of dialogue, the collapse of the very structures meant to safeguard us from the abyss of strife. The realm of politics is indeed predicated on the existence of opposites, a dynamic interplay of divergent views and ideologies. Yet, it is in the crucible of these differences that the art of … Continue reading Living is a political act …

Human Connection

Love is the thread that weaves through the fabric of our interactions, binding us in a dance of empathy and understanding. It is the force that compels us to step outside the confines of our own perspectives, to see the world through the eyes of another. “When we truly love people, we must meet them where they are,” you say, and in this simple truth, there is a profound wisdom. For love does not seek to mold or shape, but rather to embrace and accept. It is the recognition that each soul’s journey is unique, and that to love is to … Continue reading Human Connection

Prose on Love, Kindness, and Openness of Heart

In the quietude of your words, there lies a profound truth, a gentle whisper amidst the cacophony of the mundane. You speak of weariness, a soul’s lament at the masquerade that dances around the essence of our being. Yet, in this confession, there is a plea, a yearning for the genuine, the pure, the heartfelt. “I’m sorry if my responses sound silly to you at times,” you say, and in this apology, there is an innocence, a disarming honesty that beckons one closer. For what is silliness, but the joyous laughter of a spirit unburdened by pretense, a mind liberated from … Continue reading Prose on Love, Kindness, and Openness of Heart

Yes …

Poetry was born a woman. She danced into the world, her steps scribing verses upon the canvas of time, and in her wake, we found our voices, becoming poets by her grace. Without her, our world would be barren, a landscape of infertile lands and gray colors, devoid of the vibrant hues that signify life’s rich emotions. She is the sublime creation, the muse of our deepest contemplations, bestowing upon life its myriad meanings. In her, we find the embodiment of the sacred roles—the nurturing mothers, the caring sisters, the inspiring daughters, the guiding teachers, the pioneering scientists, the supportive friends, and the passionate lovers. Each role, a testament … Continue reading Yes …
