Poetry
“Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.”
― Leonardo da Vinci
I write from my own life experiences, exploring relationships, family, imagery from surroundings, and imagination. Travel, migration, introspection, philosophical thoughts, and feelings inspire me to write.
Reading at the Decatur Book Festival 2024
Reading my poems at the Decatur Book Festival 2024:
- Metamorphosis of Dreams
The feeling of elusive dreams and ambitions that appear within reach one moment and completely transform the next moment is not just something that I feel personally; it could be a common feeling for anyone striving towards their goals while also facing the challenges and pushbacks from life.
- Migratory Birds
This poem is inspired by change, migration, and moving on.
Each Moment is a Wonder
I wrote Each Moment is a Wonder in a reflective and somewhat philosophical state of mind, inspired by nature and natural surroundings that reminded me about the ever-changing nature, the transience of living things, and the wonder in each moment.
