If sculpting is your art, O craftsman, Shape my face, my body, and my soul with your hand.
If sculpting is your art, O craftsman, Shape my face, my body, and my soul with your hand. Turn water into glass for me, if you can, Or cleanse this mirror of its rust and sand.

States of a Poet: Between Inspiration and Solitude
States of a Poet: Between Inspiration and Solitude In this poem, we dive with the poet into a contemplative journey where his emotions and states shift, flowing between moments of joy and delight and depths of despair and heartbreak. For the poet, words are not merely tools of expression; they are vibrant, living entities that mirror his inner states. Here, words don’t just express; they dance, obedient yet wild, racing to find their place in the weave of verse. It’s a journey of love for words, a journey of inspiration and solitude, where the poet resides among the corridors of his imagination, weaving his verses and living among waves of poetry, wishing he could remain forever in his poetic realm, away from the noise of life.
