Bang, You’re Dead
Primal Screaming With Friends
Sonata as soliloquy: Echoes,
In and out; Of me, as my heart, skipping beats
Like stone. A cross. A still. Yet, stormy sea beneath which
Emptiness abounds: That it is once more mine, alone;
'No longer' seems as daunting, or as wanting as my
Ceding partial rights to the light I once shone freely.
Even in the deepest dark, life's seed sprouts anew; Aloud.

I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil
Help Me
O the Planner of all causes, O the Opener of all doors, Help me. This haiku is a quiet prayer rising from a heart standing at the edge of uncertainty. In moments when every path seems blocked and human strength feels small, the soul turns toward the unseen force that plans every cause and opens every door. With only a few words, the poem captures a deep longing for guidance, mercy, and relief. It reminds us that even in silence and helplessness, a sincere call for help can travel beyond our limits and reach the One who holds the keys to every possibility.

Dear Rafi, You’re very distracting to work around. For the first second I saw you the other day, I thought you were some type of executive. It took a moment to realize no, you were just the new guy, dressed up for the job he wants. Be still, my heart.

“Even in the deepest dark, life's seed sprouts anew”- love this line to close J! Feels like defiance but also a quiet determination to persevere. Love the Gandalf quote in the bio by the way😄
I love how you blended imagery and emotion to create themes of isolation, renewal, and the contrast between light and darkness. With your words you have expressed both vulnerability and strength. It’s beautifully reflective and carries a sense of quiet resilience. Truly inspiring!"
