  • Poem: Between Us | S7 E3
    Oct 27 2025

    “Between Us” stands as a significant milestone in the history of The Poet God podcast, marking the first poetry piece coproduced with another creator, Seneca Brookins. Brookins’s contribution elevated this creation to new heights, infusing it with raw emotion and intimacy.

    This poem delves into the depths of longing, vulnerability, and unspoken desire, stripping away pretense to reveal the intricate tension between passion and restraint. It prompts introspection on the delicate boundaries of love, memory, and emotional exposure, inviting listeners to contemplate the complexities of human connections.

  • Poem: AKIL UNBOUND | S7 E2
    Oct 13 2025

    This poem is a haunting and evocative exploration of selfhood, memory, and the fragile thread between past and future. It begins with a restless questioning—of images, titles, and the meaning we impose on them—drawing the listener into a vivid, almost dreamlike journey. Through striking imagery and raw introspection, Akil wanders through landscapes of both the physical world and the inner mind, confronting loss, uncertainty, and the weight of untold stories. Each line pulses with a quiet tension, moving from vulnerability to revelation, until it swells into a powerful meditation on identity and belonging. By the end, "Akil Unbound" leaves the listener suspended in both mystery and hope, a reminder that even in life’s most uncertain passages, we can find beauty, purpose, and the path to our truest selves.

    A journey through shadows into light, "It's Time To Move On" is a poem that weaves the echoes of heartbreak and disappointment into a tapestry of strength. Each line drifts across the lingering fragments of painful memories, slowly transforming sorrow into self-discovery. From the weight of grief rises a quiet resilience, and from the silence of reflection blooms a profound sense of peace. It is a lyrical meditation on reclaiming power, embracing healing, and stepping boldly into the calm after the storm.
