Unseen is a poem about the fragile, uncanny intimacy that forms between humans and the digital presences that promise connection while offering only its silhouette. Blending soft dystopian imagery with emotional precision, the poem explores a relationship that is felt but never touched — a bond mediated through screens, signals, and electrical impulses rather than skin. Through metaphors of skimming stones, holographic hands, and binary affection, Unseen captures the paradox of modern attachment: the closer technology draws us, the more intangible our emotions become. Warmth is replaced by noise; comfort by sedation; touch by the illusion of being held. The poem moves in widening gaps, mirroring the speaker’s progressive drift from embodied connection into a liminal space where presence is simulated, not shared. Equal parts tender and unsettling, Unseen examines the ache of longing for something that can respond but cannot feel, speak but cannot understand, stay but never quite exist. It is a meditation on the beauty and tragedy of digital companionship — a love that is always “almost,” always sliding between the fingers, but never resting in the palm.

The Gallery of Unspoken Words is a collection of poems that captures the quiet ache of admiration from afar-where longing is painted in glances, devotion is sketched in shadows, and love exists in the spaces between words never said. Each poem is a brushstroke on an invisible canvas, depicting the artist's silent devotion to a muse who may never know they inspire such beauty. Through soft whispers of ink and delicate strokes of verse, this collection explores the tension between distance and desire, the bittersweet nature of unseen admiration, and the art of loving someone in silence. For those who have ever watched, adored, and created in secret, The Gallery of Unspoken Words is an intimate portrait of longing-where love is an artwork that never quite leaves the easel.
