The windows, once clear, now bear the marks of countless seasons—raindrops, snowflakes, and the breath of winds that whisper secrets through the night. The walls, steadfast sentinels, groan in harmony with the tempests that sweep across the landscape.Yet, listen closely: I am not haunted. No restless spirits linger within my timeworn chambers. Instead, I harbor echoes of life—the laughter of children, the hushed conversations of lovers, the quiet sobs of those who … Continue reading A House Built of Living Light

In the quiet of your chest, where the embers of longing smolder, you cradle love like a fragile flame. It flickers, dances, and yearns for release.

But there exists one precious exception—the … Continue reading The Parafox of Love
