This poem is published in poetry collection Paradise Beyond Pulse (2026).
So You Sold Your Soul
You signed
with a smile
but forgot
to ask
the total.
With gentle steps
and steady nods
Your price was vague
and never named.
Whispers in your spine
echoed through space,
as intuition turned to haze
You gave up chaos for the calm,
faded self was freed from harm
Through my core
I peek into a void
dark as an echo
of your soul.
I bet
you would reset
the final deal.
Right?
