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.

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.

#raincoat for sale—
barely used—
kept the storms out;
colour: green;
size: me.

eyes on the storm—
piercing,
anguish cutting
the heart asunder

she did not know,
she did not know—
for one
must remember
the trembling thing,
the quivering,
living
thing.

she shivered—she
quivered
the room
crooned—soothing
rhythm hums;
drum thrums

head-over-heels folly
tilts her up,
then lets go—
released,
she pours

rose-lit pink-lustre,
a sheen along the ribs—

she shivered
she quivered.

spun—
laughter soft,
breath on edge.

the room bends,
time loosens hold;
held up above,

vertigo tremors
rush under skin—
weightless we float,
we drift
awake
in a dream
of molten air.

unafraid should life burn me,
wound me again—
for i have
climbed to the crest—
essence flowed into water,
breath into shape,
and
i let it consume me—

and this feeling,
this endless,
feeling,
set its seal on a
wish.

city life blurs,
we drift through traffic,
calling it
meaning..

#micropoem #poetry #photography

city street blurred by motion; headlights, traffic lights, and faint silhouettes dissolve into haze.

and
the way she stepped—
with #verve
her pace quickened,
then softened

the words she spoke,
a reflection of her soul,
fell at his feet;

their echoes crossed water,
reverberating,
climbing the hill
landing gently
on the beat of his
heart.

how softly they burn—
and how often
their soul tarried
at the threshold
of a heart—
alight,
afraid
of what lies beyond.

You are too kind, beautiful soul. My phone has a good camera, and i edited it for contrast. I could spend a lifetime, capturing her 🌕.. Happy Friday 🤍

fog
cradled the night;
city-haze curled
along her skin.
it was late—
so late,
yet she stayed,

scent of rain
on her lips.

his eyes—
unwritten
chapters
of forbidden thought,

his voice,
a study
in exquisite ruin.

wine
on his lips,
truth and desire
share the same glass—

a #libertine soul
to me,
as the night
forgives all.
