TATTERED LIGHT —a line between ruin and rebirth

in the #tatters of light, I found the version of me the world never saw.

DEBUGGING DUST —a requiem for the versioned self

A dialogue between who I was and who I’ve become.
A reminder that beneath all versions, beneath every race for meaning,
what endures is the quiet pulse of being —
unfiltered, unfinished, enough.

THE ALGORITHM OF GRAVITY — on recursion, memory and the architecture of devotion

In the lab of longing, even constants decay.
Devotion — a code that never stops running,
an experiment that keeps rewriting the heart’s syntax.

MIST — yellow maple, almost airborne

A gold leaf riding an updraft where spray makes its own weather and the river keeps unseaming itself.

WITNESS — where the outline learns to breathe

A face half-formed in white space. Two twigs pointing to silence, to breath, to light and completes the hush without filling it.

THE UNSHARED ROOM — a personal reflection

Some are rooms built for echo,
some — for peace.
And some silences choose you back.

STATIC MAP — how the wires remember our names

Tonight’s draft runs on static veins, uptown haunts, turnstile teeth.
Mirrors that won’t agree; steel that forgets and remembers; gates that count more than fares. I left an echo on the seat and carried a spark into the dark.

BANDWIDTH —silence in high fidelity

#Desolate isn’t absence; it’s my signal cleared of noise, where truth downloads at last.

NEGATIVE SPACE —what remains when words refuse to answer

Sometimes, #No isn’t defiance —
it’s the shape grief takes
when words refuse to answer.

VEIN—where unease learns to whisper

Even silence can #creep, tracing the pulse of what we tried to bury alive.

DRIFT EQUATION —the art of becoming and returning

Sometimes we drift not to escape,
but to find where pain turns luminous —
where even fractures learn to bloom.

Grateful to see “The Story of Rebels” recognized among the top entries by @pendroppublication_02. Writing has always been my quiet rebellion, my way of keeping forgotten voices alive. Honoured and thankful for this recognition.

MOONLIGHT MAHEM — the bedtime rebellion of our kind

The world was smaller then,
but our wonder was infinite.
And though we grew up,
a part of us is still awake somewhere—
in that blue-lit room,
saving the universe one stolen cookie at a time.

MARROW—what truth leaves behind

Even love has a #skeletal shadow, still reaching for warmth it can’t hold.

VERITY —where words outlive their speakers

For those who write not to be remembered,
but to remember what silence refused to hold.

The Healer of Hollow Hills — a tale that remembers what faith forgot

Sabrina, your prompts opened the door to my oldest memories—the glow of lamps, the hush of stories that shaped me.
Even without faith, I still believe in the way remembering becomes its own kind of prayer. 🌒

REPOSE — where gold forgets its shine

Sometimes the things we call “shiny” are merely scars learning to sparkle differently.
Even decay wears its own kind of grace — if you know how to look closely.

VESPERINE — on how quiet things learn to outlast their own ending

In this #ambrosialdrift, even silence hums — the kind that doesn’t demand healing, only understanding.
Where fading becomes grace and every hush carries a heartbeat.

ORTHOGRAPHY — the way silence spells itself twice

And truth begins where echoes collide,
the tongue learns restraint through hunger,
light forgets its origin in dust.

Read to return, return to read. 🌙

SILTSONG — where the river keeps what the heart lets go

What the heart releases is never gone;
it drifts back, softened into light —
even grief, when still enough,
begins to hum again.

CONSTELLATE —on finding grace in being unseen

Sometimes the sky forgets to name you —
but you still shine, quietly,
in the corners no telescope remembers.

Maybe that’s where real light lives.
