Poetry


Poems are not just meaningless sounds and hollow echoes of the soul. 

Poems are not just pretty words on paper and screens.

Poems are not just rhymes and meter. 

Poems are not just angst and art. 

Poems are not just something.

Poems are powerful. 

Poems are the stories between the lines. 

Poems are the unspoken and unsung truths. 

Poems are the cries for justice in an unjust world.

Poems are the expression of what it means to be alive. 

Poems are the celebration of what is and the mourning of what was. 

Poems are alive, and the stories behind them live on in-between each line.
