The Emma Cycle: For my Emma

The Emma Cycle is a poetic journey through the stages of a love that changed everything - from the silence before it began to the peace that follows goodbye. Told in six poems, each piece marks a different moment in time: the awakening, the joy, the unraveling, and the quiet acceptance that comes when love becomes memory.

Written as both confession and closure, the cycle isn't meant to win someone back - it's meant to understand what it means to have loved deeply, to have been changed by it, and to still carry that person in the heart's quieter corners.

Every poem was written from lived truth, each word a reflection of what it means to be human enough to love, and brave enough to let go.

Sometimes love doesn't fade; it changes colors.
