“I will be waiting here. For your silence to break. For your soul to shake. For your love to wake.—Rumi

In the stillness of this moment, I linger, a silent sentinel, my heart attuned to the rhythms of your being. I stand on the precipice of your silence, anticipating the soft whisper of words that have yet to be spoken. The quiet is profound, a canvas upon which the echoes of our unspoken emotions paint a tapestry of longing and hope. I await the tremor of your soul, that subtle quake that heralds the awakening of truths buried deep within. It is in these moments of raw vulnerability that the essence of who you are begins to shimmer through the … Continue reading “I will be waiting here. For your silence to break.

Espelho

Diante do espelho, o reflexo não mente. Cada linha, cada marca é uma testemunha silenciosa das batalhas travadas e das vitórias silenciosas. Os olhos, outrora cheios de sonhos e inocência, agora trazem consigo uma dureza sutil, fruto das realidades enfrentadas e das noites mal dormidas. A boca, que um dia sussurrou dúvidas, agora se afirma com convicção e coragem, moldada pelas palavras ditas e as que precisaram ser engolidas. A ruga entre os meus olhos é uma marca eterna, como uma tatuagem indelével das memórias que carrego. É um lembrete constante dos momentos que moldaram minha jornada, das cicatrizes invisíveis … Continue reading Espelho

Deep Deeper

Not everyone can feel things as deeply as you. Most people, their feelings are bland, tasteless. They’ll never understand what it’s like to read a poem and feel almost like they’re flying, or to see a bleeding animal and feel grief that shatters their heart… In the vast spectrum of human experience, your emotions burn with a brightness and intensity that few can fathom. Your soul resonates with the beauty and sorrow of the world, each moment a symphony of profound sensations. Too bright to hear, too loud to see, you live in a realm where every feeling is magnified, … Continue reading Deep Deeper

Inside

Inside this body is the sun and the moon, the stars, the oceans, and the entirety of the seen and unseen places. Within this vessel, the universe resides, a microcosm of all that exists, both tangible and intangible. Joy dances here, illuminating the soul with its radiant light, while loneliness lingers in the shadows, a quiet companion to introspection. Confusion stirs like a stormy sea, its waves crashing against the shores of understanding, yet within its tumult lies the potential for discovery. Heartbreak carves deep canyons in the heart, but in those crevices, new growth and resilience take root. Bliss … Continue reading Inside

Death

I, who am always silent, come to you today with a message that echoes through the ages. I walk by your side, a constant companion, yet you turn away, refusing to acknowledge my presence. I bring meaning to life, a reminder of its fleeting nature, but you choose to ignore my significance. In the depths of despair, I offer solace to those who suffer, yet you resist, clinging to the illusion of immortality. In your folly, you plead for reprieve from the consequences of your excesses, laying blame at my feet for the inevitable. I transcend your beliefs, your societal … Continue reading Death

The voices of the excluded

Do you know what haunts me, what lingers in the shadows of my mind, and what I long to share with you? It is not the cold, impersonal statistics that weigh heavy on my heart, but the intangible echoes of human emotion that have passed through here. The sighs of vulnerability, the quiet whispers of fear, and the silent pleas for solace, they were in the thousands among the one hundred thousand. Each one a soul, a story, a life caught in a moment of profound vulnerability. I am haunted by the tears that have fallen, their unspoken sorrows and … Continue reading The voices of the excluded

Dear universe,

Let not my mind so rearrange the world around me that I no longer see its beauty. In the hustle and rush, keep my vision clear to appreciate the splendor of the everyday, the simple miracles that make life remarkable. Let me not be so full of myself that I ask for change without having to change myself first. Remind me that true transformation starts within, that I must be the catalyst of my own evolution before seeking it in the world around me. Let me not become blind to truth by having an unceasing and humble readiness to admit … Continue reading Dear universe,

Amei-te

Amei-te sem saberes, no avesso das palavras, na contrária face da minha solidão, eu te amei. Acariciei o teu imperceptível crescer, como carne da lua nos noturnos lábios entreabertos. No silêncio da noite, onde as palavras se dissolvem e os sentimentos afloram, meu amor por ti crescia invisível, mas pulsante. Em cada suspiro solitário, tua presença se insinuava, preenchendo os vazios com uma ternura secreta. Era um amor que nascia na ausência, que florescia no entrelace dos sonhos não ditos. Eu te amava na contradição da minha existência, onde o silêncio era grito e a solidão, companhia. Cada pensamento meu … Continue reading Amei-te

The meaning of our existence

Perhaps the essence of our existence lies not in the act of dying, but in the contemplation of how to depart, how to bid farewell to a life that feels fragmented, incomplete. How do we relinquish our presence when we have never truly inhabited our own lives? How do we depart when we have never learned to linger, to truly be? Our identity is a delicate web of perceptions woven from the memories we cling to, a patchwork of experiences and emotions that ebb and flow at the whim of circumstance. We define ourselves by what we hold dear, what … Continue reading The meaning of our existence

‘σ ‘αγαπώ

Let these words flow like a gentle breeze, caressing your soul with their tender touch. Let them weave their way into the depths of your being, settling in your heart like a cherished memory. Let them not just be fleeting thoughts, but a lasting presence, an eternal bond that connects us beyond the physical realm. Let them be a reminder of the love that binds us, ‘σ ‘αγαπώ, whispered softly but resonating deeply within. Let these words be a comfort in times of uncertainty, a source of strength when the world feels heavy. Let them be a beacon of hope, … Continue reading ‘σ ‘αγαπώ
