How a life becomes a line
Every poem began somewhere. Here is the long way round.
A few decades, told honestly
Meet a storyteller of the heart—a poet, lyricist, and author who turns the full spectrum of human emotion into words that sing. Through songs that move you and books that stay with you, this is a writer who finds light in every feeling, celebrating joy, healing, longing, and hope alike. With a gift for making the deeply personal feel universal, their work reminds us that to feel is to be wonderfully, vividly alive. Whether on the page or in a melody, every line is an invitation: to feel more, understand more, and embrace the beautiful, messy art of being human.
My first story
I discovered writing before I really understood what it was. As a child, I filled the margins of schoolbooks and the backs of envelopes with stories — a talking animal, a half-remembered dream, a world that lived only in my head. When the lesson ended and the other children put their pencils down, I kept going, pulled back again and again to the simple joy of putting words on a page.That early spark never dimmed. What started as a habit grew into something closer to a need. Through my teenage years I wrote constantly, working through clumsy first attempts and slowly finding my own voice, each notebook teaching me something the last one hadn't.Adulthood brought the usual distractions — work, responsibilities, all the practical things that pull people away from childhood dreams. But I never managed to set writing aside. I wrote early in the mornings and late at night, in the quiet gaps between everything else, because I simply couldn't imagine not writing.I'm Sharmaine, and I never stopped — because for me, writing was never a choice. It was always a calling
Music from the heart.
Like my stories I author, my music was a reflection of my journey — each note a chapter, each lyric a line in the story of my life.
Back to forests and the sea
Nature inspires me and always heals my soul.
