Poetic Restlessness

Poetry is the way you look at the world
But not like the shadow of the everyday,
That worn and filthy angle
It is full of energy and deceit!

Perhaps… human.

The writer has the view of combat,
The clamor of the restless soul,
Thoughts that insist on not being silenced.
In my dictionary, that is called: poet

When debating whether it’s five or six titles
More opinions rain down than salt on a Greek barbecue
But when contemplating the skies and the seas
Few are those who lose their peace

From the lack of my mental quietude,
A hug, goodbye.

Morning Soliloquies Morning Soliloquies

Laura Esteves builds worlds with words, and dismantles the ones that already exist. She writes about what hurts, what transforms and what refuses to be forgotten. She writes about love, identity and the systems that insist on defining us.

She believes literature is the only place where truth doesn't need permission. Her texts are born from the certainty that every story told with courage is an act of freedom; for whoever writes and whoever reads.
