Follow your heart

I LOVE TO SPEAK AND LEAVE

“Words unspoken are like shadows at dusk—their absence lingers, haunting, shaping what might have been. After my first debate at law school, I found myself at odds with the words I left unspoken. There is something haunting about what remains unfinished. This is what I wrote that evening.”

I love to speak and then depart,

Leaving words to haunt the heart.

To flee, unbound by whispered dreams,

Deaf to life’s hasty schemes.

I love to leave my verse undone,

With dots where meaning is overrun.

Reflections linger—just behold,

The torment they weave, so bitter, so bold.

Beneath the gossamer veil of speech,

A soulful haven lies to reach.

Amid the throngs of fleeting forms,

Resides the eternal, untouched by storms.
