Intensia’s Words to Think. Or to Sing. is a collection of poetic meditations that bounce between philosophy, humor, identity, and raw emotion. Structured as a notebook of short verses, reflections, and fleeting thoughts, the book offers a tapestry of lyrical fragments that read like journal entries or inner monologues caught mid-thought. It doesn’t follow a clear narrative. Instead, it invites the reader to wander, pause, laugh, and ponder. The voice shifts freely, sometimes abstract, sometimes punchy, often surprising. At its heart, this book is a dance between the silly and the sacred, the vulnerable and the absurd.
I enjoyed how unfiltered it all felt. There’s this wild honesty in the way the author jumps from introspective sadness to cheeky self-mockery. One line made me laugh. Another hit me hard. And somehow, they sat right next to each other like old friends. I love when a book doesn’t try to be tidy. This one doesn’t even pretend. It’s messy in a good way. It feels like real thought, like someone actually thinking on the page instead of crafting perfect poetry. That made it feel alive. The kind of alive that’s a little chaotic and a little beautiful.
Some bits felt so random I had to reread them three times to decide if they meant something. And I liked that feeling, though I imagine it could drive other readers nuts. There’s no clear plot, no through-line, and the tone switches gears fast. I personally enjoy that kind of unpredictability. It reminded me of flipping through a notebook someone left behind on a park bench, strange, funny, haunting, and kind of thrilling.
I’d recommend this book to people who like their literature weird and personal and a little rough around the edges. If you’re into poetry that feels more like a whisper or a smirk than a polished performance, you’ll probably love this. Artists, songwriters, or anyone who finds inspiration in broken lines and passing moods will find gold in here.

Thank you so much, R. Janet! I’m so glad it resonates with you.
Most music artists tend to create behind closed doors, occasionally sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses only once everything is ready and available to stream. I wanted to offer a look into my mind and soul from the earliest stage to spark inspiration, start conversations, and encourage self-reflection.
Publishing a collection of poetic lyric excerpts from my pop songs in progress, along with small insights into their meanings, felt like a great way to introduce myself and genuinely connect from the very beginning of the story in an original and special manner.
Music has always been meaningful and empowering to me, so I would be honored to become a music companion to everyone enjoying this book.
Wishing you a good read already, in case you decide to give it a go 🙂
I would love to have you in. Maybe one day we can even sing some of your favorite lines together.
Cool idea!
