  • The Gargoyle

    The Gargoyle

    Stone Guardian’s Love Letter I’ve been up here for centuries,watching your roofs change shape,your towers grow taller,your streets trade horses for engines,and your engines for lightning.I was carved out of the church’s worry,a monster to scare off the night.But the truth is, I love the night.I love this city when the darklays its heavy…

  • The Beach Dog

    The Beach Dog

    The Beach Dog Paws in the foam, tail flags the wind,Nose to the tide where the day begins.He dances with crabs, in sideways parade,Dodging the pinchers the small claws have made. Seagulls cry gossip from clouds up above,He chases their laughter in leaps full of love.The sea hums a hymn as the waves roll…

  • The Parrothead Manifesto

    The Parrothead Manifesto

    “If life gives you limes, make margaritas.” We, the flip-flopped faithful, the tan-lined tribe of tropical daydreamers, do hereby declare this sacred scroll of sunburned wisdom: The Parrothead Manifesto. It is not a law book. It is not a rule book. It is not even laminated (because laminated things don’t float, and we always…

  • Sailing Toward the Grey

    Sailing Toward the Grey

    “The Sea Knows Your Name” – A Poem and Reflection By The Coconut Muse The Poem A whisper in the canvas, a heave in the hull,The sea is a sermon, steady and dull. Skies wear the weight of a world not yet cried,While mountains brood silent, with secrets to hide. The sailboat leans like…

  • Where The Quiet Lives

    Where The Quiet Lives

    In a world that spins too fast,where headlines scream and time slips past,there is a sacred kind of gracethe stillness found in your own space. Not silence, but a deeper tone,the voice that hums when you’re alone,when morning light paints soft your skin,and all the noise is drawn within. Find it in the steam…

  • The Beach Taught Me to Heal

    The Beach Taught Me to Heal

    There are moments in life when words become more than just expression, they become a kind of medicine. This piece is deeply personal to me, born from quiet hours spent at the edge of the ocean, where I found pieces of myself I didn’t know were lost. Healing is rarely linear, and even more…

  • A Love Letter to Moms

    A Love Letter to Moms

    To the Moms of the World, On this day set aside to honor you, words feel small beside the vastness of your love. And yet, because you have always taught us to speak our truth, we will try. You are the heartbeat of the world, soft and strong, steady and unwavering. You are the…

  • Where Heaven Meets the Shore

    Where Heaven Meets the Shore

    I went down to the edge of the sea,where the world hushes and the sky kneels lownot seeking answers, only stillness.But there, amid the rhythm of the waves,I found a voice too ancient to name. Each wave spoke in psalms,not of thunder, but of gracerolling forward with the patience of eternity,retreating like a whispered…

  • With Your Own Eyes

    With Your Own Eyes

    There comes a time, quiet, slow…when the noise of the world no longer stirs you,when the chase loses its thrill,and you begin to wonderwhat it really meansto be alive. Not to exist.Not to survive.But to live.Fully.Fiercely.With wonder burning behind your eyes. Because peace…real peaceisn’t handed down like a gift.It’s carved,soul-first,from chaos.From heartbreak and stillness,from…

  • Everything I Lost, I Found by the Sea

    Everything I Lost, I Found by the Sea

    It began with footprints… mine, then gone.Washed away by a tide that seemed to knowhow to take what I never meant to give. The sea, wide-eyed and glistening,offered no apology, only silenceand the hush of waves pulling secretsinto the folds of its ancient skirt. I had come here hollow,salt-stung with a loneliness I couldn’t…
