Amid the silent sighs and fallen whispers,She sought the language of her breaking heart.“How do I translate this pain into words?” she cried,But he, with gentle eyes, did softly start: “Some feelings just don’t have a language, dear.They’re whispers in the void, pure and unbound,Beyond the grasp of mortal tongue and ear,In realms where only silent sobs resound. Yet in the spaces where no words can tread,Emotions bloom like midnight’s velvet rose,A garden nurtured by the tears unsaid,Where every petal tells of hidden woes. So let your heartache be a secret song,A melody that’s heard but never sung,For in the … Continue reading Feelings

I don’t know much about a lot of things. I don’t understand how governments can betray their own people, how innocent children fall victim to the cruel sting of bullets, how the earth trembles beneath the weight of our actions, and yet we refuse to accept responsibility for the damage we have wrought. I don’t know when it became taboo to share our deepest sorrows and questions, to seek solace in our collective vulnerability. I don’t know. But amidst the chaos and despair, I do know that there is a sacred pulse, a divine rhythm that resonates in the heart … Continue reading I do not know …

In the alchemy of time, take twelve fine, full-grown months and cleanse them of the remnants of old bitterness, rancor, and hate. Let the past dissolve into the ether, leaving these months fresh and pure, untainted by the burdens of yesteryears. With a gentle hand, divide these months into equal portions, each day a new canvas waiting to be painted with the hues of life. Do not rush, for haste can spoil the entire concoction. Instead, prepare each day with care and intention, infusing it with the essential ingredients of faith, patience, courage, and work—without which the flavor of life … Continue reading Happy New Year Recipe

Em meio às lágrimas, afoguei-me inúmeras vezes, senhor. Remando incessantemente, ora contra, ora a favor, perdi-me nas correntes de minhas próprias decisões. Lancei a âncora quando era hora de partir, e parti quando era hora de aportar. Sofri tanto com a fome quanto com os excessos, senhor. Enfrentei miragens e silêncios profundos. Naveguei em direção às tempestades, conforme os caprichos das minhas marés. Inventei piratas que saqueavam meus tesouros, tornando-me uma filha distante das constelações. Tornei-me marinheiro no tempo, sem jamais aprender a nadar. Foi somente assim, na jornada árdua da vida, que pude desmorrer e renascer. Na batalha constante … Continue reading Águas Profundas

I began to write poetry when I truly understood its essence. Poetry is not bound by rhyme schemes, iambic pentameter, or alliteration. It is not confined to exquisite word choice, intricate meanings, or melodic rhythms. Poetry is the blood in my veins, the pulse in my wrist, and the marrow in my bones. Poetry is the thoughts that dance through my mind, the music that reverberates within my heart, and a sliver of my soul captured in verse. It is the raw, unfiltered expression of my innermost being, transcending the mere mechanics of language. Poetry is the lifeblood of my … Continue reading Poetry is the Blood in My veins

In the vast, cold embrace of the unknown sea, a castaway struggles against the relentless waves, each pull drawing them further into the depths. The surface, where sunlight dances and life breathes, feels increasingly distant. The fight to keep eyes open, to stay conscious, is a battle against the seductive whisper of eternal rest. In moments of utter exhaustion, when hope is but a faint memory, the allure of oblivion grows. Yet, in the quiet heart of despair, where the sea’s roar dulls to a whisper, a resilient voice emerges from within. A call to persevere, to breathe, to hold … Continue reading The castaway

There are places where you forget pieces of the heart, and there are places that let us discover a heart. In the quiet corners of the world, memories fade like whispers in the wind, leaving behind fragments of love and loss. These places hold the echoes of our past, gently cradling the pieces we’ve left behind. But there are also places where the heart awakens anew, where the air is filled with the promise of discovery. Here, beneath the shade of ancient trees or in the vibrant pulse of a bustling city, the heart finds its rhythm. It is in … Continue reading Sacred Places
