say: you shouldn't give a dessert or a whole buffet to a homeless person. You should start with a piece of bread and water, so it won't be overwhelming. This might seem wrong or maybe strange, but I believe you shouldn't give all your love to someone starving for it. Imagine love offered to someone parched-it would feel like a glass of water in a desert, a drop of blood for a new vampire. It's like giving a box of juice to a child: they'll drink it as if it's their last and ask for more. The thirst turns primal-an endless need no single act of kindness can satisfy. When someone has been deprived so long, their hunger for love, for care, becomes a bottomless well tasting its first drops of rain. The giver, then, is met with expectations impossible to meet, a longing that consumes. To meet such need, a gentle pace is key. Just as a starving body can't take a feast, an empty heart can't take a flood of affection at once. It's balance-showing care while ensuring neither side drowns in intensity. It's not about withholding kindness; it's about nurturing in a way that protects the giver and helps the receiver relearn the taste of being valued. Steady gestures, deliberate and small, let trust grow and turn ravenous need into something sustainable. So, I say again: offer bread and water first. Let that be the start. And when the time is right, share the whole buffet-not to feed endless hunger, but to celebrate a heart that's learned to be nourished without losing itself in the feast.

Should one seeks fingerprints on this heart's dusty frame, Only theirs would likely be found, leaving none to blame. Tracing fingers along the heart's gentle curve, Elicits pleasure, though unseen, it does serve. Writers label such love as a curse or poison slow, Comparing it to falling, a tale they often sow. Yet in silent gazes, a charm unique does bloom, Where admiration shared casts away the gloom. With every glance, souls may find a sweet exchange, And every breath spent adoring, love's range. Until lungs ache with the weight of devotion's delight, In the presence admired, bathed in love's eternal light.

This dusty heart
A paper boat drifts on a puddle, Folded edges, faint creases, no rudder, It floats with no purpose, no sail, Yet it moves, ever so slight, on water stale. It’s fragile, you see, flimsy and plain, With ink smudged lines that tell no name. It sinks a little when ripples arise, But steadies itself under grey skies. The rain might tear it, the wind could fold, But it remains afloat, a quiet hold. It’s going nowhere, yet doesn’t resist, As if its drifting was meant to exist. One could say it’s just paper and wet, A child’s forgotten game, no regret. But isn’t there something beneath the act, In drifting, in yielding, in knowing it’s cracked? Perhaps it’s not lost, but free to stray, In stillness, in silence, day by day. Guided by faith, though the path’s unclear, Trust in the hands unseen, drawing it near. A simple truth in the current it traces Sometimes the deepest journeys leave no traces

The Paper Boat
When the room is quiet and the floor is cold, And the "someday" stories feel tired and old I look at the shadow beside my feet And wonder where our timelines meet. ​I’m down in the dark, at the end of my rope, Tired of the weight of a distant hope. I don’t need a legend, or a destiny plea, I just need to know: Who is out there for me? ​Are you looking at the same moon tonight, Tired of the wait, and losing the light? I’m calling out softly, from the bottom of the fall, To the one who will make sense of it all.

The Echo in the Low
No map, no marks, no guided hand, Just shifting feet on sinking sand. I didn't reach, I simply fell, Like paint that finds the canvas well. Without a rule, without a choice, I found my heart, but lost my voice.
