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.

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..

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.

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.

landed
on his skin—

their meaning
settling
like dust
in his chest.

and darling,
i’d harness you if i could—
i’d cradle, love, deteriorate,
and cry over you,
if i could

i kept the trace of warmth—
the one you gave me,
and i framed it,
i framed it
beyond space and
time.
