THE POETIC STORYTELLER
This is where my poetry finds its voice.
Here, I share pieces of my soul through written verse and spoken expression—stories shaped by decades of healing, survival, and truth-telling. I’ve been holding these words since I was six years old, when the floodgates first opened and I was finally safe enough to begin processing what I had lived through.
Whether on the page or spoken aloud, each piece is part of my journey as a Poetic Storyteller—a voice shaped by fire, carried with tenderness. You’ll find written poems, live performance clips, and storytelling reels—each one rooted in memory, transformation, and truth.
Spoken Truths is a soul-baring collection of poetic storytelling—where my voice meets my healing. These spoken word clips rise from silence, shaped by trauma, resilience, love, and truth-telling.
They are the stories I once held inside—now finally spoken aloud.
Listen with an open heart. Reflect on your own journey.
Let these truths stir something tender and honest within you.
And if they do—sit with it. You are not alone in what you carry. 💌
FROM PEN TO STORY
For me, writing begins in stillness—when the world quiets just enough for truth to rise. A feeling stirs, a memory echoes, and the pen meets the page. I don’t always know where the words will take me, but I follow them like a trail of breadcrumbs—back to something I’ve lived, longed for, or finally understand.
Some pieces arrive as whispers. Others roar their way through.
But all of them are born from honesty.
​
I write in layers: emotion first, then structure. Voice, then rhythm. Revision is where the raw becomes real—where the chaos finds shape and the pain finds grace. Whether I’m writing a poem, a letter, or a song, I ask myself: What is the heart of this? What truth wants to be heard?
​
That’s how stories are born.
From ache. From wonder.
From pen to page. From silence to voice.
​
​
This is where my words come alive.
Here you’ll find a rotating collection of my poems — some soft, some sharp, all stitched from soul.
Each month, I feature a few pieces that speak to where I am, what I’m feeling, or what I believe might speak to you. Sometimes they’re old favorites. Sometimes they’re barely dry. But they’re always honest. Always mine.
🕊 August’s Chosen Three
Poems that ache, rise, and remember.
This month’s selections carry memory, resilience, and the quiet strength that comes from surviving what once felt unsurvivable. Whether you're standing in the hush of limerence, clinging to your words like armor, or rising from the ache with wings — may you find yourself somewhere in these lines.
