Hi! I'm Ilyssa, a published poet who loves all things mystical, divine, and unseen. In my poetry, I seek to explore the ephemeral and all matters relating to the soul. At the end of the day, I hope to meet my readers in a place they need to be met in the soul with my poetry and art.

When I'm not writing, then I'm most likely sipping tea or coffee (no discriminating here) and reading a good book. I live by Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass and all of Rumi's poetry.

"Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged,
Missing me one place search another,
I stop somewhere waiting for you."
