Hello everyone,

I am a modern Symbolist-Surrealist poet. I feel moved when I immerse myself in the ocean of Symbolist poetry; it is perfection in imperfection.

In a world of myriad hues, I strive to inject my purest subjective truth and authentic emotion into my work.

In addition to poetry, I also write short stories. Like my poems, my stories are symbolic, metaphorical, and philosophical. Let’s explore and open the secret box! I’m ecstatic to share all my work with you. I invite you to find resonance.

Although I don’t value ambiguity in life, it mesmerizes me in Symbolist and Surrealist poetry. It feels like traversing high mountain passes—compelling and mysterious. Each verse speaks for me, untying inner knots so that fleeting emotions can sink into the raindrops. I am grateful to life for the suffering it brought me; it has crystallized into strength, beating in rhythm with the heart of poetry.
