Reflected Longing

Reflected strength, a mirrored scene,
A sculpted form, both strong and keen,
"Working out," the caption reads,
But deeper still, the heart bleeds.
 
In black and white, a world defined,
By shades of longing, left behind,
A modern space, a timeless ache,
For love's lost touch, a heart to break.
 
Each flexed muscle, a silent plea,
To conquer grief, to set spirit free,
The sweat that falls, a cleansing rain,
Washing away the lingering pain.
 
Yet in the mirror's cold embrace,
A past life's love, leaves not a trace,
A haunting echo, soft and low,
Of joys once shared, a love's soft glow.
 
A youthful soul, he knew, he knew,
Now lost to time, a fading hue,
A whispered name, a silent tear,
For bonds once shared, held ever dear.
 
Though strength he builds, a fortress high,
Against the sorrow, in his eye,
A fragile heart, beneath the shell,
Still whispers tales, it knows so well.

"No Filter"

Image
“No Filter” Beneath a sky that speaks in silence, you walk the edge between light and dusk — a soul unmasked, wrapped in twilight’s quiet breath. No filter. No disguise. Just the truth of you painted across the soft neon haze. I see the weight behind your stillness, the ache of beauty that asks nothing in return — only to be felt, not fixed. And if the world must blur around you, know that I will never look away. I have loved you in the rawness, in the hush between the heartbeats, where your light meets mine — without edits, without fear, just you. @poembyselly

The Intruder

Sometimes, the universe sends joy in the form of a fluffy little intruder… But the real magic? It came from the one who captured the moment and shared it— without knowing he’d just made someone’s day a whole lot brighter. Thank you for the laugh, Tomo.. Your sense of timing (and humor) is simply unmatched. -------------------🐿️ The Intruder On a quiet morning carpet, a guest arrived, uninvited yet bold, a fluffy tail like a brushstroke of gold, sneaking in, bringing laughter untold. Its wide eyes filled with wonder, exploring a world beyond its border, not a trace of fear, just playful delight, filling the stillness with a spark of light. Perhaps the universe just knew— that someone out there needed a giggle too, and through this tiny, curious soul, a hidden smile began to unfold. Thank you, little uninvited guest, you brought warmth in your subtle jest, and someone behind the lens that day, kept your visit as a story to replay. ©poembyselly

A spiritual journey of remembering, healing, and divine service

I Am a Tarot Reader and a Soul Returning to the Light A spiritual journey of remembering, healing, and divine service --- Some people are born to live. Some are born to remember. I am one of those souls. My name is Selly, and I am a tarot reader. But the cards I read are not simply symbols—they are echoes. Reflections of something deeper. I was born with a sensitivity to energies, an ability to perceive what others cannot see, and a soul that has never truly forgotten its past. --- The Awakening My spiritual journey did not begin with thunder. It began with a whisper. A feeling that I had walked this earth before. A sensation that certain dreams were more than mere visions—they were memories. I saw fragments of past lives: A healer. A mystic. A woman once called a witch. I had power then. But not all of it was balanced. And that imbalance, I carried across lifetimes—until now. --- A Sacred Gift, Not a Claim In this lifetime, I am not here to repeat the past. I am here to heal it. To wa...
