read me
the way a poem is written
without hurry
without trying to force beauty
where it already exists
learn the pauses
as carefully as the words
let silence have its own language
and let every touch arrive
like a line that knows
exactly where it belongs
leave pieces of yourself
between the verses
and I’ll leave pieces of myself
between the spaces
and when morning finds us
there will be no final stanza
only two hearts
still reading each other
as though love
was never meant to end
only to be written
again and again
New light
gold spills low
across the tide
where sea foam
catches the dying light
and turns to liquid embers
the sky
a canvas stretched thin
between twilight blue
and burning orange
brushed with wild
feathered clouds
at the edge of the world
the ocean lifts the sun
from its sleeping horizon
in a soft rushing whisper
it’s as if the morning itself
cannot help but remind
me of you
because everything beautiful
always does
Love remains
*Picture is my own*
I leave flowers on your grave
soft offerings for a silence
that never answers
their petals stir in the wind
as if they too are trying
to speak your name without breaking
I kneel beside
the earth that keeps you
wondering how something so vast
can fit inside a handful of memories
the flowers will wither
the seasons will turn
but grief has its own roots
growing deeper each time
I come here looking for you
in a place that can only
hold your bones
and never the light you left behind
and still
I bring them
not because you can see them
but because love has never learned
how to arrive empty handed
I tell myself that somewhere
beyond my understanding
you knew I was here
that every bloom
is another way of saying
I have not forgotten
one day my hands
will stop bringing flowers
but until then
they will keep blooming
where my heart still insists
you are only sleeping
Untold stories
I often wonder
in moments
of untold stories
waiting to be read
how many words
will need to be written
until we find our way
back together
how many pages
must the heart turn
before the ink dries
on the distance between us
and our story
begins again
how many chapters
must time quietly unfold
before your name
finds its way
back into mine
and how many endings
must we survive
before we understand
we were always
the beginning
Captured
I do not photograph the world as it is.
I photograph the moments when it reveals itself.
The sliver of light that finds a forgotten corner. The hands that carry years of stories. The glance that disappears before anyone else notices. The quiet places where life leaves its fingerprints.
Photography, for me, is not about simply capturing what is in front of the lens. It is about noticing what others might pass by. It is about finding the quiet details, the fleeting emotions, and the pieces of life that often exist for only a moment.
I walk through noise searching for silence. I look through glass searching for truth. I wait for the heartbeat between what happens and what is gone.
A photograph is not just an image.
It is a promise that something existed.
A feeling.
A place.
A person.
A piece of time that refused to disappear.
I do not chase perfection.
I chase honesty.
The blur.
The shadow.
The imperfections that make a moment human.
Because sometimes the most beautiful photographs are not the ones that are flawless. They are the ones that feel alive. The ones that hold a story, a memory, or a feeling that brings us back to a moment we thought was lost.
My camera is not a witness.
It is a translator.
It turns light into memory, seconds into stories, and the invisible into something we can finally see.
Every photograph is a conversation between the world and the person behind the lens. A quiet reminder to slow down, to pay attention, and to recognize the beauty that exists in the ordinary.
I photograph because the world is always speaking.
I am simply here to listen.
Dawn’s Embrace
take me where the light is gentle
barely waking the world
where shadows stretch
like whispered secrets
and the air holds its breath
skin glowing in the hush
between night and day
open without shame
hands tracing
the quiet promise of morning
slow and deliberate
like a vow
spoken without words
touch me
in this fragile light
where everything feels new
and everything is possible
where the warmth of your breath
presses softly against my skin
and time slows to the rhythm
of our joined heartbeats
hold me here
in the light that drapes us
like a secret
and let me melt
into the soft edges
of dawn’s embrace
Look at her (Audio)
there is a girl
with an entire universe
collapsing behind her ribs
and nobody knows
because she laughs loudly
because she shows up
because she learned that people
only ask if you’re okay
when you look like you aren’t
but she has mastered
the art of disappearing
while standing right in front of you
she has stitched herself together
with invisible thread
held her own hand through nights
that felt endless
and survived battles
she never had the words to explain
they call her strong
they don’t know
strength was never the dream
the dream was to be held
without having to fall apart first
the dream was to be loved
before she became a lesson
in survival
but still
look at her
still breathing
still becoming
still carrying a heart
that the world tried
so hard to turn to stone
My favorite chapter
if love had a language
your eyes would be
my favorite chapter
the one I return to
when the world forgets
how to be gentle
they speak
without the burden of words
holding entire seasons
inside a single glance
a quiet alphabet of warmth
of storms survived
of dawns still waiting to happen
I have learned the shape of hope
in the way your gaze lingers
how silence becomes a sanctuary
when it is shared between us
every blink
turns another page
every smile hidden there
is a sentence I never tire of reading
and if one day
the rest of the story fades
if time scatters its pages
to the wind
I will always remember
the language your eyes
taught my heart
that love is not always spoken
but endlessly understood
Memorized
I know each line of your face
like verses in a poem
I’ve memorized by heart
the gentle curve where laughter lives
the faint crease of past storms
weathered in silence
the soft trace time has dared
to leave near your eyes
not as a thief but as an artist
each line is a map
of joy
of ache
of sleepless wonder
I’ve traced them with my eyes
a thousand times
and still they catch me off guard
like a favorite song played
slow and low in the dark
to know your face
is to know a story
without needing words
a story that keeps unfolding
even when you’re still
Borrowed light
the silhouette of my body
is a quiet shoreline at dusk
all curve and hush
outlined in borrowed light
it does not need to be seen
it simply stands
a dark bloom against the evening
soft thunder held in stillness
my shoulders are small horizons
my hips a slow question
the night leans in to answer
in shadow
I am less detail
more feeling
a whisper shaped like a woman
a flame without flame
a story told only in outline
and somehow
in the absence of light
I become entirely myself
