Why I Write Poetry

The path from words to connection

Poetry, for me, is both a refuge and an opening. It began as a way to put into words what I could not say otherwise:

emotions too vast, images too fleeting, silences too heavy. Over time, it became much more: a way to connect, to share, and to create dialogue.

L'Orage d'Été

Writing is not only about self-expression; it is also about listening. Each poem holds traces of the people I have met, the landscapes I have crossed, and the cultures that have shaped me. Between French, Spanish, and American voices, I discovered that poetry can be a universal language, able to carry both intimacy and openness.

This is why I write: to build bridges. To create a moment where a reader, perhaps far away from me, feels suddenly recognized in a few lines. To keep alive the belief that words can bring us closer, heal wounds, and inspire new ways of seeing the world.
