Intro This poem navigates the treacherous ambiguity between intimacy and intrusion, unfolding in the liminal haze of adolescence—where the self is still a half-formed question and every boundary feels negotiable. It captures the unsettling paradox of being profoundly seen by someone who radiates grace, talent, and an almost mythic allure, yet whose gaze carries an…

Sometimes, what draws us to someone is how alive our minds become around them. A conversation lingers, an ordinary street looks different, and we begin noticing things we had stopped seeing.
Inspired by Tiakola’s Gasolina, “She Fuels My Soul” explores that quiet awakening. Beneath its playful imagery is a longing to be moved by someone’s imagination—to feel admiration deepen through conversation. Writing it made me wonder how much of attraction comes from recognising another person, and how much comes from rediscovering ourselves in their presence.
Outro
Perhaps that is what I am searching for: a connection that keeps curiosity alive. Someone whose thoughts stay with me after the conversation ends, making me want to write, to create, to look closer. And I hope to offer her the same—a place where her imagination feels heard, and room for us both to grow.
Spiritual Takeaway
The spiritual takeaway is to recognise the beauty someone awakens in us while remembering that God remains the source of our life. Her creativity can inspire me, but she cannot carry the weight of being my purpose or completing my soul.
That turns admiration into a deeper question: am I only drawn to how she makes me feel, or am I willing to listen, give, and seek her good? Love matures when the person who inspires our poetry is also someone we honour in ordinary life.

What unsettles me is not simply her beauty, but how quickly the mind can turn admiration into surrender. I call it the highest thirty-third degree, as though her face possesses some secret authority, yet I must question how much of that power I have given her myself. Perhaps the chaos reveals what was already waiting within me: loneliness seeking relief, desire seeking permission, a hunger to be chosen disguising itself as love. Before I have heard her thoughts, I have made her the centre of my own—and in doing so, reduced a whole person to the effect she has upon me. There is something barbaric in that inward taking, in wanting possession before understanding. Her beauty becomes a mirror I would rather call a spell, because a spell would spare me the harder confession: what awakens in her presence is still mine to govern.
Outro
Perhaps her beauty reaches the highest thirty-third degree, but I must question why I let it disturb the order within me. Am I drawn to who she is, or to the thought that being chosen by her would finally make me feel worthy? It is uncomfortable to admit how easily desire can dress itself as devotion, how much I can imagine about someone whose inner life I barely know. If I am to see her clearly, I must let her speak beyond the image I have created. Then I may discover whether my admiration can deepen into understanding—or whether I have only been looking for myself in her eyes.
Spiritual Takeaway
Her beauty becomes a spiritual mirror, revealing what still seeks to rule within me. Attraction itself is not sin, but Jesus warns against looking at someone with lustful intent (Matthew 5:28). I must ask whether I see a woman made in God’s image or an idol I expect to satisfy my insecurities (Genesis 1:27; Exodus 20:3). Her beauty does not make her responsible for my thoughts; I am called to guard my heart and practise self-control (Proverbs 4:23; Galatians 5:22–23). The deeper lesson is to let God renew my mind so that admiration grows in purity and respect (Romans 12:2; 1 Timothy 5:2). I can appreciate her beauty without surrendering my judgment, remembering that outward appearance cannot reveal the fullness of her heart (1 Samuel 16:7).

I keep replaying the moment her presence first reached me — not through words, but through something quieter and far more dangerous. Her Latin accent, her Texas roots, the way her culture moved… it all cut straight through the noise and found the antennas of my spirit. She didn’t ask permission. She simply laid her hands over my soul, and suddenly everything inside me was bucking like a wild bull in a dusty arena, my heart rearing up like a black stallion that had never known a rider.
Outro
And so I keep running — not because I no longer feel her hands on my soul, but because I still do. The black stallion inside me has not slowed, the rodeo still turns, and her accent continues to echo through the antennas of my spirit long after the solar eclipse has passed. Maybe one day the abyss will grow quiet and Texas will stop calling, but until then I remain here in the dark — guarded, untamed, and forever marked by the woman who almost brought me home.
Spiritual Takeaway
Not every soul connection is meant to bring you home.
Some arrive as powerful transmissions — speaking directly through your spiritual antennas, stirring the wildest parts of you, and making your heart race like a black stallion. These connections can feel destined, intoxicating, and deeply familiar. Yet the same force that awakens your spirit can also threaten to pull you back into a place, pattern, or identity you have already outgrown.
The true spiritual lesson is discernment: Learning when to receive the energy… and when to protect your soul by running into the dark, under the eclipse, far from the call of what once felt like home.
Sometimes the highest form of spiritual strength is not surrender — but the courage to remain guarded, untamed, and free.

I see myself as a man chasing a treasure greater than the universe itself. I’d give her every galaxy and every star because her soul means more to me than anything I could ever possess. Like Jack Sparrow, I search for the treasure hidden within her heart, and like Luffy, I sail through every storm to discover the one piece that makes her whole. I don’t want to own her treasure—I want to be worthy of finding it.
Outro
And maybe that’s what I’ve been searching for all along—not gold, glory, or some legendary treasure buried at the end of the world, but the heart hidden inside her. I could sail across every ocean, chase every star, and cross every galaxy, yet none of it would mean anything if I never found my way to her. Because in the end, I don’t want to be remembered as the greatest pirate or the strongest king. I just want to be the man who found the rarest treasure of all—the part of her heart she never lets the world see—and had a heart pure enough to cherish it.
Spiritual Takeaway
Maybe the real treasure was never something I could possess, but something I was meant to understand and cherish. In searching for the light within her, I found myself being drawn closer to God, learning that love is not about possession, but patience, sacrifice, and genuine care. As Scripture says, “Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.” — 1 Peter 4:8. Perhaps every ocean, every storm, and every treasure was leading me toward the same truth: the greatest treasure isn’t found in what I can hold, but in the love God teaches me to give.
