I am a poet and a writer. I write stories and poems — and here I share their quieter, more personal side.

Hello, you’ve just discovered me in my small world…

…welcome among the stars and constellations, where I lose myself in my thoughts and dreams. Sometimes I wander all the way to the very edge of the night sky. From those distant places, I return back to earth — trying to capture those feelings on these “paper” pages and give them a voice.

Maybe you’ll find yourself in these words.
Or maybe you’ll just slow down for a moment.

And sometimes, that’s enough.

 

Who am I?

I am like snow in August
Like wind in perfect stillness
Like a star in the dark sky
And like a flood in the desert

I was baptised by freedom — and I won’t let it be taken from me so easily
I don’t know how to stand quietly in a corner — I take every fall as a chance to rise again

You’ll find me exactly where everything ends, and everything begins
Sometimes, I hide my words behind the curtain of night
