5 poetic questions about love, emotion and the moments that stay
Some moments don’t end
when the poem is finished.
They stay.

Poetic 5 is a series of gentle, written conversations
exploring the inner world of artists —
through five questions that stay.
This time,
the voice behind Lyrmotion
turns inward.
A poem you wrote that stayed with you —
long after it was finished ?
A difficult question, because all of my poems are deeply felt —
inspired by human emotions or by film.
But one that comes to mind instantly is "Red Lips and Wine".
It is a homage to all the maybes in our lives —
to unlived moments, unlived love, to what could have been,
and to the quiet loneliness that sometimes follows.
Because we didn’t dare.
Because we didn’t say what we felt.
It is also a reminder — to take chances,
to speak from the heart,
and not to wait for the perfect moment
or for courage to arrive.
To simply follow what we feel.
A moment in your writing that lingered —
somewhere between words and feeling ?
It always happens twice.
Right before I begin writing —
and right after I finish.
There is this quiet sense of happiness,
woven together with all the emotions
that live inside the poem.
A piece you found yourself inside
and didn’t want to leave ?
Every poem that is about love.
Because I believe love is the most powerful feeling —
and the essence our hearts are searching for.
Love gives our lives depth.
It carries us through difficult moments.
It nurtures both heart and soul.
Love is beautiful in all its forms —
platonic love, romantic love,
and the love and respect we hold
for ourselves and for others.
I believe this is what makes us human.
And it is also why Lyrmotion was created —
out of love,
and out of the deep belief
that we are all love.
We just sometimes forget.
A quiet moment in your creative process
that made you pause —
and simply feel ?
When I write, I feel everything very deeply.
But it is after the first draft
that a different kind of quiet appears.
A still moment.
Almost like sitting with the emotions again —
rehearsing them,
and letting the poem settle
into what it has become.
Something your poetry revealed to you
that followed you into real life ?
That each of us carries something within —
a passion, a gift —
that lights up our heart.
And that we should follow it.
To trust those intuitive feelings deep inside us —
the ones that quietly tell us what is right for us,
what feels true,and what makes us feel whole.
What does art mean to you —
and why do you write film poetry?
Art is one of the most beautiful things we can
create as human beings.
It connects us — no matter where we come from,
or who we are. It allows us to feel deeply,
and in doing so, it reminds us of our humanity.
I have a deep respect for artists.
Because what could be more beautiful
than a person who allows their soul, their passion,
and their talent to speak through their art —
and in doing so, touches and delightes others?
A song, a voice, a painting, an opera, a film scene —
each of them carries something within it.
Something lived. Something felt.
And it has the power to awaken emotion in others,
to create connection, to bring beauty, depth,
and meaning into this world.
And I believe that is something we need —
now more than ever.
That is also why I feel such a strong
connection to film poetry.
I have loved theatre, opera, music and film
for as long as I can remember.
When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a singer —
and later, an actress on stage.
But sometimes, limiting beliefs keep us away
from what we feel most drawn to.
And maybe that is also why I carry such deep respect
for everyone who lives and works in this world.
From the camera, to the director, to the actors —
each person brings their whole heart into what they create.
And as an audience, you can feel that.
As an artist — and as a sensitive, empathetic person —
I experience films very deeply.
Every cut, every scene, every glance, every silence.
I don’t just watch — I feel.
And through film poetry,
I want to bring those emotions to life again.
To give them another space to exist.
To translate what is seen
into something that can be felt in a different way.
I am a perfectionist —
but above all, I am someone
who truly loves what she creates.
And I believe that is something people can feel.
Some words don’t leave.
They stay —
in the quiet spaces,
in the moments we almost lived,
in the things we felt
but never said out loud.

If this spoke to you,
you already know why.
