Euphoria
The soft, gentle breeze kissing over my skin, As if the world sheds its evil, embracing a love akin. The peace of soul and love entwines...

The Path of Sacred Surrender
Shah Nimatullah Wali, a renowned 14th-century Persian poet and Sufi master, was known for his deeply spiritual and love-infused poetry. His verses often reflect the soul’s journey toward divine love, where the seeker loses all sense of self and is absorbed into the beloved’s presence. In this ghazal, he describes how those who behold the beloved’s face are rendered speechless, those who step into love’s path abandon all worldly attachments, and those who truly surrender find every place transformed into a sacred sanctuary. The poem beautifully captures the essence of mystical devotion and transcendence.

A Heart Lost in Longing

His verses often explore themes of love, longing, and the helplessness of a heart trapped in sorrow. In this ghazal, the poet speaks of a heart that has become accustomed to pain, a soul crying out in the agony of separation, and a love so consuming that even relief feels like betrayal. Through delicate metaphors, he captures the struggle of a lover who continues to wander in search of an unattainable union.

"I WANT TO STAY IN MY DREAMS". Content Warning.
I created this story video from the ideas floating around in my head this morning. However, this story with visuals kept me busy all day long into the evening hours. I was stressed as an empath living in a chaotic world of dictators and psychopaths attempting to lead into a dark dystopian nightmare. I like the freedom in my dreams, and how I travel everywhere with exploring the universe.
