Maria Johnsen’s Poems

                    In my poetry, I explore the vast landscapes of spirituality, love, world events, and brief yet profound poetic short stories. Each piece I  write reflects my own experiences and the unseen realities that have shaped my perspective.

Spirituality: Bridging Worlds Beyond the Visible

My spiritual poems come from a deeply personal place, inspired by the paranormal experiences I’ve encountered since childhood. Writing these pieces allows me to connect with forces beyond our physical world and share those experiences with others. Poems like The Girl Upstairs reveal a glimpse into this mysterious realm, expressing a reverence for energies and spirits that often go unnoticed. Through these poems, I hope to invite readers to contemplate the mysteries that lie beyond what we can see and feel a connection to something larger than ourselves.

Love: Embracing the Full Spectrum of Emotion

When I write about love, I aim to capture both its light and shadows. Love is never one-dimensional; it is filled with joy, pain, longing, and tenderness. My love poems reflect on these complex emotions, expressing the euphoria of connection and the bittersweet ache of loss. I explore the vulnerability that comes with truly opening one’s heart, knowing that love’s beauty is often intertwined with its sorrow. Through my verses, I hope readers can see their own love stories mirrored in my words, finding comfort in knowing that they are not alone in their experiences.

World Events: Reflecting Humanity’s Shared Struggles

My poems on world events are my way of engaging with the world’s pressing issues, from social justice and environmental concerns to the resilience found in moments of crisis. With each piece, I seek to create empathy and encourage action, hoping my words serve as a reminder of our interconnectedness. I believe poetry can be a powerful tool for change, inspiring others to see the world’s struggles and triumphs in a new light.

Poetic Short Stories: Moments Captured in Verse

In my poetic short stories, I aim to paint vivid scenes and capture the essence of life’s fleeting moments. These poems are snapshots of experiences, often inspired by small yet meaningful moments that speak to the heart. Whether it’s a simple observation or a profound encounter, I write to convey the beauty that can be found in life’s everyday occurrences.

A Unique Perspective

I write poetry not only as a means of self-expression but as a way to connect with others on a deeper level. Through my poems, I strive to capture the essence of life’s wonders and challenges, inviting readers to reflect, feel, and find beauty in every experience. My hope is that my poetry serves as both a mirror and a window—a mirror for readers to see themselves and a window to view the world in new ways.

The Magic in my Beating Heart

“The Magic in My Beating Heart” is my ode to the ineffable, an attempt to capture the elusive beauty of love in all its complexities, presented as a collection of short stories in poetic form. It’s an invitation to dance with the words, immerse yourself in the ebb and flow of emotions, and discover the magic within your own beating heart. May these poetic tales of love, these short stories in verse, ignite introspection, rekindle memories, and inspire a renewed appreciation for the transformative power of love in all its poetic glory. I hope you enjoy reading these poems.
