No Word Comes Near Enough. Content Warning.
The English language has its limits. I learned this when I became a student of the Bible and looked up the Greek and Hebrew definitions behind the Scriptures I loved. Some languages have so much more depth and power than the one I use to convey my thoughts. But, even so, I don't think any word could ever come close to describing this void and pain I am journeying through. I don't know how to swim through its murky waters.

Hello Gorgeous
Pulchritudinous Characteristically Splendiferous I like to write about positive things. I like to appreciate people. I am writing this paragraph because the poet community does not accept 3 word poetry unless it's being entered into a Vocal Challenge. Hopefully this positive piece will lift up people and distract them from what's going on in the world.

The Sea Within Me
Writing has always been my sanctuary, a place where the noise of the world fades and the rhythm of my soul takes over. This poem was born in the quiet hours of the night, during a time when I realized that every word I write is a wave of healing. As I prepare to celebrate my birthday on February 27th, I want to share this piece of my heart with you. It is a reflection of my journey, my survival, and the endless horizon of hope that writing provides.

Three Seconds
I saw your face three seconds on the screen and thought you must have made a mistake. People like that don’t look for me. But I clicked yes. Out of curiosity. And out of some silent hope I had carried within me for years. We talked for a long time. As if we already knew each other. As if distance has no real measure when two people listen to one another. I didn’t see you, but I felt you. And that was enough while for others it was nothing.
