A writing journey
I always wanted to write but never believed I had it in me. One day I picked up a pen, wrote down my emotions and edited it. That’s how I discovered my gift. Since then I have been nurturing my talent with my dream of becoming a world renowned poet

How deep is it?
It’s not that deep everyone says
Because they know the depths of your problems more than you do
And know how you feel until they don’t
Maybe I’m overthinking it but I really do wonder
How did I possibly drown if it wasn’t that deep?
Chestnut Brown
A fluttering moment, I catch a glimpse of her and smile.
A smile so pretty, she could make anyone fall in love at first sight.
I saw a girl so beautiful, even the stars would bask in her light.
Her skin glows a distinct shade of chestnut brown;
Her touch lifts the weight of the world.
Her eyes twinkled and, for a moment, time stopped to capture her essence.
A glint of light lit in her eyes, and the sun prayed to shine as bright.
Her aura radiates warmth, confidence, and absolute divinity.
Oh, what the gods would give to adorn her with gold
And keep her caged in the finest castles.
Her presence brings a peace that captures the attention of all who steal a glance.
She gives a whole new meaning to the word ‘precious’.
I wished to treasure her and hold her in my arms forever,
But the gods would kill me if I stole their finest treasure.
I admire from afar, eternally grateful for nature’s gift that is HER.
