Well as you all know, it is St. Patrick’s day on Tuesday, and, as St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, I thought I’d write a little post for it. I have no plans this year. In years gone by, when my niece and nephew were kids, we’d all…

Drifting somewhere just behind my eyes, I watch the world like it’s someone else’s skies. Voices move, but they echo far away, Like a distant radio that forgot what to say. My hands are mine, but they don’t feel true, As if they belong to a stranger I once knew.…

Continue reading →: Yen for the yacht
At midnight the harbor slept except for Mina and the stolen yacht. She had no map, only a stubborn yen for elsewhere. The engine coughed like it doubted her courage. Behind her, city lights flickered; ahead, a black sheet of sea. A rope snagged the propeller. Mina leaned over the…

Beneath the shade of ancient forest trees, Their roots remember rain and wandering years; The moss holds quiet histories in its keys. Beneath the shade of ancient forest trees, Soft wind translates the language of the leaves, And time moves slowly, older than our fears. Beneath the shade of ancient…

The rain had started just after sunset, the kind that blurred headlights into long streaks of white and red across the motorway. Evie drummed her fingers on the steering wheel and glanced at the clock on the dashboard. 9:42 PM. She’d been sitting in the same spot for nearly twenty…

The last thing Mara expected to find on the empty train seat was a stranger’s cell phone. It buzzed once, lighting the dim carriage with a pale glow. No name, just a message: “Are you still coming? We can’t start without you.” Mara looked around. The train was nearly empty.…

There’s something comforting about the ritual of coffee. The warmth of the mug in my hands, the familiar aroma drifting upward, the first bitter sip that somehow feels like the start of the day. For me, coffee has become more than just a drink—it has quietly turned into a habit…

Ink on my fingers, a book on my knee,Two quiet worlds that feel like home to me.One where I wander through pages unknown,One where I build little worlds of my own. When I start reading, the room fades away,Minutes turn softly to hours in a day.Mountains and oceans appear in…
