I am a poet of mystery, turning silence into questions, and ordinary images into windows through which the soul beholds eternity
A writing journey
From my childhood I always love to write, writing has been my greatest hobby. In my Secondary School I noticed that I have the gift of creativity, this make me to fall in love with Literature especially writing of poems, my first poem was " DEATH", I wrote this poem on 2018, after my Secondary School I never stopped writing, taking pen from my hands is like taking blood from my vein.
Though I do read and write but I have never gotten the Courage to spread my garment abroad, to bring it to the sight of people, not because of humility or growing in silence, but is simply fear, I write because mysteries burn like fire in me, writing seems to be path way I am lessening the fire.
Until one day after discussing with my elder brother in my School about the Chains of fear that is holding my hands and caging my voice. He speaks to my heart and pushed me hard to let the wind of wonder in me blow on the people, from that day till today my writings are no longer placed in silence.
