I hated your absenceuntil I learned to live by it—to chart my nights around the vacancywhere your star had once burned,to call the darkness by another nameand mistake the quietfor the shape of healing. I built my peace slowly. Stone by stone,I made a small universe of myself—hung new constellationswhere your light used to be,learned... Continue Reading →
You left to seek a quieter sky,to chart your course beyond the reachof our old gravity.And when you vanished,the heavens inside me collapsed—constellations broke apart,their silver lines unthreaded,their names forgotten by the night. For a while,I wandered among the ruins of stars,gathering fragments of myselflike fallen meteors from dark fields.One by one,I placed them back... Continue Reading →
There was once a boywho lived on a very small planet. It was not a remarkable planet.There were no mountains,no seas, no kingdoms. Only a little house,a little garden,and one lampthat he lit every evening. The boy had once believedthat a planet needed another personto make it worth living on. He had been wrong. After...

I’ve swept the corners of my heartwhere your echoes used to stay,not to erase you, never that,but to make room for my own day. We... Continue Reading →
You are everywherethe color yellow decides to stay. Not in grand places—not in the cathedral light of stained glassor the pages of old love letters— but in the small, forgettable cornerswhere the world does not expect memory. Morning begins with you. The sunrise arrives quietlythrough the blinds,spilling that thin yellowacross the floorboards. It spreads the... Continue Reading →
You left the way autumn leaves the trees—not in anger, not in haste,but in a quiet surrenderto the gravity of your own season. I watched you drift from my sky,a star deciding at lastto follow its own orbit,beyond the pull of my small constellation. I wanted to ask the heavensto tilt the night a little... Continue Reading →
I look at you, and I sigh.My heart is a whirlpool of emotions;my brain, an abyss of thoughts.So many things to ask you,so many things to say.I practice the words,the clearest way possible,sharp like an arrow,loud like thunder.I line up my thoughts,one after the other:like steps of a staircase,escalating yet constant;like waves of the oceans,pulsing...
