If we could know the source of our daydreams, could we also know the nature of being?

Hello, I'm Joseph.
Poetry is a personal love, a way of transforming moments, memories, and insights into a timeless expression. I write not as a professional, nor within the structured confines of a traditional blog, but as a means of preserving my own clarity and sanity. Though I strive to keep my prose tidy, I remain a work-in-progress, an ink-stained Earthling always evolving.
Thank you for being here,
M. Joseph Boehler
Since 2014, words have pulsed beside my heart, spilling onto paper as restless notes, philosophical musings, and verses that hover between prose and poetry. Each line drifts and moves like an abstract thought, pulling me deeper into the possibilities of language. Over the years, I’ve learned that meaning isn’t merely what we write; it’s the way a handful of words can create entire worlds. This fascination with the depth and intuition of all forms of prose motivates every piece I shape and every idea I dare to chase.
My musings have wandered across pages and time, tracing the flow of inspiration. In the early days of my poetic practice the work was sporadic; moments of clarity and writing followed by quiet intervals. Over time those moments steadied into a disciplined rhythm, and my reflections, verses, and philosophical musings began to merge into a consistent art. To me, poetry in its purest form mirrors the inner depths of awareness, the subtle nuances of feeling, and the ever‑shifting world that surrounds us. Guided by a fascination for philosophy and the complexities of existence, I continually explore, reflect, and create.
This blog is a journal for my explorations, where I delve deeply into the intricate dance between personal experiences and our understanding of existence. My purpose for this website is to also serve as an ever-changing creative space, a place where I can better understand myself as I truly am. Within this blog, you will encounter poetry from themes of love, experience, identity, meaning, and the fleeting nature of life, among many others. My style may oscillate between reflective musings and philosophical inquiries, inviting you to ponder alongside me. Each entry unfolds in its own rhythm, unbound by order or curation, allowing for a genuine exploration of thought and feeling.

How My Poetry Blog Is Organized
The newest posts always sit at the top of the blog's home page, with ten entries per page. The "Older posts" button loads the next set. The list follows the date I publish, often not the date I actually wrote the piece. Some verses were composed months or even years before I decided to share them, while others are fresh from the day they're published.
Themed and descriptive tags don't determine where a poem lands in the feed. If a poem carries a tag Love, Experience, or Ideas, you'll find it wherever it happens to sit in the flow of the blog. A handful of entries are tagged as a Letters (these pieces are written as personal correspondence). Some others carry Notes, where I add insight on the corresponding work.
Every poem is paired with a visual artwork that I create spontaneously. I let instinct drive the image, releasing the urge to over-think, so the picture breathes alongside the words. To protect the original pieces, all artwork on this website (illustrations, photographs, or other visual media) is shown at a reduced resolution.

Join me on Mastodon!
I'm utilizing the Mastodon platform to create another space where I can express my written art. Here you can expect a welcoming and a bit more personable environment. This will be the only social media page for this blog, making it a special place for us to engage.
What is Mastodon? Mastodon is a decentralized social media platform where users can join independent communities, known as instances. It allows for sharing posts and engaging in conversations, but emphasizes users control and privacy. Every instance has its own rules, creating a sense of community. This offers a unique alternative from the typical social media experience.
I warmly invite you to join me on Mastodon: @Boehlerstudio
*Please note that my Mastodon profile won't be the sole focus of my time, and may not be updated as frequently.
