  • Grudges, Parcels, and a Cup of Tea: Peace Begins Next Door

    Grudges come and go  against whom, and why? No… not me. I have walked away from that weight. I am learning to hold things with compassion, not claws. Christmas is here  what shall we gift the neighbours? The same neighbours, yes — them. Perhaps forgiveness, wrapped soft like a winter scarf. Maybe we will talk…

  • Truth Bent by Time: Who Owns History?

    I once read  that history is just fragments, memories cracked like old pottery, washed in someone else’s truth, diluted by the angle of power.

  • Between Breaking and Healing

    It’s not funny anymore. Don’t laugh. I could break your teeth, you know clean in half. Work next to a dentist, take commissions on every crack I make. Who knew violence could be a career path? Even LinkedIn would be impressed. And she laughs. Window-light hitting her face like golden conspiracy, front row seat to…

  • What’s On My Mind? — Afterlife Edition

    I Met Nephthys is a vivid spoken-word journey that questions death, technology, and the strange comfort of the present moment. The poem explores an encounter with Nephthys—the Egyptian goddess of death—yet instead of following her to the afterlife, the narrator chooses life, uncertainty, imperfection, and curiosity.

    The day I stop writingdo not turn me into a weapon.For even in blood,I can write. On the blank page,etching the syllables of silenceI can still write. The ache of life,the beauty of the worldweaving both into letters,I can write.

  • Embracing Change: A Journey of Light and Love

    I don’t want to discuss what happened before. I just want to adjust my contrast. I aim to brighten the light that still loves me. I hope to soften the shadows that don’t.

  • The Game of Life: Love Beyond Earth

    They were way smarter than me.Or maybe just… older in the soul.I said it like confession,and someone asked Why? What happened? I told them,They beat me in my own game. What game?they said. The game of life.And I stood there,puzzled by my own answer because I didn’t understand it either.Not fully.Not then. It was something…
