Can one random conversation inspire you to write an entire book?

As a poet, I have always found peace in the quiet of my own world. Many people crossed my path, but it was difficult for anyone to truly break my silence—until a simple, honest talk with a stranger. It was so pure and unintentional that it didn't just make me laugh; it made me blush.

That night, I wrote a single line in my journal: “Unknowingly and unintentionally, he planted a rose on my cheeks.”

The very next day, that one line grew into a poem: “The roses you never knew you planted.” It became the heartbeat of the book you are holding right now.

Butterflies is the imaginary fairy tale that grew from that one real spark. Through this collection of poems, we follow a man and a woman who are worlds apart yet connected by their souls. It captures the "cocoon" phase of life—the patient waiting and the quiet growth—as two people eventually discover the wings they need to find each other.

A lyrical escape for anyone who believes that a single, sincere moment can transform into a beautiful journey.
