"Bleed on paper, die in mind." "If words are a poem, then a voice is song, sound is music. And as I know, music is the best expression- which is inspired by thoughts." I swear on my writing, poem are way better than novels. They don't drag on dead emotions and keep it raw and crisp. No need for fitting into a certain mask for long. Just real emotions flowing for a minute and there you are ready with an authentic poem which will touch more hearts than an enduring novel. This is just out of compulsion, I can no longer hold my emotions... If I knew to do this months ago, I'd be fine. Let's heal in a healthy way. Freestyle- More about spiritual suffering and ascension. Telling about different spiritual experiences through the gift of verse...

1. Amby's Award 2023 Top Pick 2. Featured on @WattpadPoetry in the Love Tides Reading list. 3. Featured on @StoriesUndiscovered in the Epic Poetry Corner Reading List 4. Featured on @Ambassadors Shorts and Poems Reading List It portrays the collaged feelings of temporariness and it's permanence. Mismatch flame, literary means the opposite of a twin flame, but not in the soulmate sense of opposite. Just like the right puzzle to hug the other but forming the wrong picture in hindsight. Like fire and water signs, forming nothingness after mergence. Like matching a flame for the match to die through the mismatch. That is, the imperfect compatibility between the two souls.
