There’s a quiet strength in vulnerability. I might feel exposed, but I’m not drowning. I’m not ashamed to admit I’ve spent much of my life running away from myself. But it’s never too late to embrace vulnerability. Bear with me as I learn to accept mine—because the artist in me is still here. #art

Black and white of the artist facing away from the camera with bare back visible in a mirror. Text edit on top of the picture is: There’s a quiet strength in vulnerability. You feel exposed, yet overlooked. Self-reflection requires vulnerability to peel away the layers of expectation and pretense, leaving ourselves bare. It’s only in that space, where transformation begins. To turn inward is to embrace ourselves fully—unguarded.

Missed my morning coffee today. Good afternoon, Happy Wednesday 😊🤍

murmurs and stirrings—
a moth to flame;
an arrow, aimed,
steadied;

eyes of unparalleled depth
casting elastic hearts;
aiming for the stars—

we are a pulse,
two of one soul;
intangible, we rise,
stuck to the sky—
and the sky stuck to us.

when
i drown—
i drown in you,
only to surface,
a breath to steal
once upon a wish—
sentient hunger,
born anew.

but they left—
they left—
me with no you,
a hollowed space,
a burning blaze,
for their sake,
for the take.

they left,
leaving words unsaid,
love unfelt;
how i crave
to bring you in,
bring you back,
back home—you see?

psithurism—
of a soul so near,
the air,
trembling—
a nearness so
dear.

an apostrophe
of thought upon
a mind—
raking leaves, tenderly,
tending root and bud—
at last, beheld, revered, without envy,
a bloom
to fill their heart.

alchemised rhapsodies—
flowering;
pampas brush the skin,
tremors
where ache
begins.

and
i fear—
i fear the pain in me
might find you still
beneath the
hush
of breath’s own will.

hours: quiet—
time: coils around;
undertones of longing
pulse through
murmurings of a
heart,
drifting
like heat,
never touching skin;
imagination
ignites—

and she wanders,
lost,
lost
in their soul.

senses beyond what she
knows—
so delicate,
so exquisitely tender;
and how they bloom
where words fall short.

tracing a high—
a mouth full of sweetness,
bottled, shaken—
and so it
goes.

Life, starts
all over, again
when
it gets crisp
in the, fall.

autumn braids
rusted lace on green;
edge of fall
leans against her skin.

fallen leaves
soften
the air
to amber.

#haunted
by time’s hands—
a quivering avalanche.
elements tie in,
tie down;
we twist,
turn,
burn.
scattered pollen—
grace like blessings;
the air turns fecund,
and what we were
is what we are:
seed becoming
bloom.
