  • The Fire in You

    The Fire in You

    You carry a fire the world can’t see,
    To become who you’re meant to be.

    It flickers most when nights are long,
    It feeds on silence, not on any song.

    Some chase sparks that fade too fast,
    While others build a flame to last.

    Take one step true, then take one more,
    The path will meet you inside your core.

    The loud will boast—the bright will blind,
    Yet the depth walks quiet and leaves a sign.

    The flame is yours yet don’t be flown—
    It’s kindled where truth is sown.

    Let others drift and walk away,
    Their fires dim along their way.

    Don’t look towards the crowds to cheer,
    But to become what you hold dear.

    So guard the spark and let it grow—
    Enough to see the path you know.

  • Ashes in the Shape of Her

    Ashes in the Shape of Her

    There was once a presence—
    not quite a girl, not merely a boy,
    but a light the soul recognized
    before the mind could give it form.
    A breath beside your breath.
    A knowing.

    You did not call it love.
    Love was still sleeping in the language.
    But the stars leaned closer when they walked beside you,
    and silence learned your names.

    Time, like wind over sand,
    carried both of you into the world’s forgetting.
    The path split gently—no storm, no blame—
    just the hush of a door that closes
    without ever having opened.

    Still, they remain—
    not in photographs,
    not in the echo of old songs—
    but in the pauses between thoughts,
    in the space where longing becomes a kind of prayer.

    Some love does not arrive to stay.
    It arrives to awaken.
    It leaves no footprints,
    yet walks with you for lifetimes.

    You may never meet again.
    But when dusk drapes the fields in amber hush,
    When a voice you never heard calls your name inward.
    What you shared was not a chapter—
    but the breath before the story began.

    In the end, we are all survivors,
    Of our own hearts.

  • The Silence That Speaks

    The Silence That Speaks

    The wind held its tongue on the edge of the pines—then spoke in the hush.
    Not in thunder, not in verse—truth broke in the hush.

    I sought the road, and maps, and signs that pointed me right—
    But found the gate unlatched and oak, half-broke, in the hush.

    The brook did not babble that morning, just shimmered and sighed,
    And something in me, once bound in smoke, awoke in the hush.

    The world had been loud with wanting, with clocks and fire—
    But love did not stir till I let it soak in the hush.

    I thought God thundered. I thought He’d split sky and stone—
    But He came as a leaf, as a look, as a cloak, in the hush.

    No preacher could preach what a crow taught perched on ice—
    When it flew, it left a poem it never spoke, in the hush.

    And so I write not to fill the page, but to fall
    Into that wood, once more, once broke, in the hush.

  • Zarwish—The Prose, The Poetry

    Zarwish—The Prose, The Poetry

    I carried her out through the morning light,
    Where dew still clung to blades of grass,
    And robins stirred in gentle flight,
    And time, for once, forgot to pass.

    She giggled soft, a stream’s delight,
    A ripple threading through the day,
    More tender than the hush of night
    When stars blink all their cares away.

    She clutched my thumb with fingers small—
    A trust too wide for words to pen.
    It taught me how the great and tall
    Must bow to love again, again.

    Each laugh she gave, each half-formed word,
    Was poetry the world can’t frame.
    No lyric more alive I’ve heard
    Than just the way she spoke my name.

    Yet prose she is, too—clear and kind,
    A daily tale my soul repeats,
    A rhythm set inside my mind,
    In every breath, in all heartbeats.

    So if you ask what truth I keep,
    What faith I guard from age or fall—
    It’s her, who laughs upon my lap,
    And makes the earth seem small.
