Breath
Life and moments through haiku and tanka
The moon is shining and as you were looking at it, something clicked in you and a connection was made with a memory. You may have uncovered an answer to a question you have been asking countless times or it was just a beautiful moment caught.
Breath is a collection of tanka and haiku poetry capturing moments at the junction of everyday life and our inner worlds. They embody the minutia of realizations attained through looking inward; a bright sunny day when we think about someone we lost, a bubbling desire coming to the surface, finding our power, longing, nostalgia, love, and gratitude take form in these. Breath is about living and owning every bit of that existence. So keep breathing. Available on Amazon globally.
Riptides
Riptides is a spoken word album. A collection of poems and contemplations exploring relationships, life, love, society, and culture at large. It includes 17 tracks - riptides - that pull us in just like we are swimming in the ocean. We try escaping by getting back to land but their grip becomes stronger as we resist until we go down. And then, once completely under the waves, we realize we need to change or switch directions if we want to make it out of the mess.
If anything, this is what the message of Riptides is. Even in the heavy matters of our hearts and lives, we can always make it back to firm ground whenever we get pulled by the currents of our situations.

The meanings of each poem and inspirations around them are posted in the Poetry section.
