LOVE LEARNS TO LIVE ON

October 26, 2026October 26, 2026 by steve

HELLO, IT’S ME

October 24, 2026October 25, 2026 by steve

WHEN LOVE REACHES BACK

THE KEEPER OF THE EMBER

October 20, 2026October 20, 2026 by steve

DESIRE ME, BUT DON’T TOUCH ME

October 17, 2026October 17, 2026 by steve

I wanted her to come closer. I wanted her to stay back. And somewhere in that contradiction, a song began to take shape. DESIRE ME, BUT DON’T TOUCH ME There

I NEVER KNEW

October 16, 2026October 19, 2026 by steve

I never knew what love sounded like I have a theory that some of us can live with a terrible soundtrack for so long that we forget it is playing.

NEEDY

October 14, 2026October 14, 2026 by steve

I thought I was making a song about neediness. Turns out, I was making a song about the courage it takes to need another human being. There is a difference.

SHAPESHIFTER

October 12, 2026 by steve

I thought I was making a fashion film. Then the balloons started popping. I recently finished a video called SHAPESHIFTER, built around a poem about becoming a fighter, being molded

LAST ROCKET

October 10, 2026October 10, 2026 by steve

How I taught a dead planet to breathe (and what it taught me back). I wrote a story about a man digging for water on a dying world. For years

THANK YOU, TAYLOR SWIFT

October 8, 2026October 8, 2026 by steve

SHAME

October 6, 2026October 6, 2026 by steve

I thought I was making a video about shame. I wasn’t. Well… technically, yes. The finished piece is called SHAME, and Snow Leopard’s poem is right there at the end,

SEPARATE BUT TOGETHER

October 5, 2026October 5, 2026 by steve

I thought I was making a love story. I was wrong. Or at least that is what happened somewhere between the first image prompt and the 65th six-second shot. The

UNWORTHY

October 2, 2026October 2, 2026 by steve

I got handed a poem that did not want to become a song. It wanted to bleed. Snow Leopard wrote “Unworthy” on September 5, 2026. It is about twenty-two years

NO ENDING

October 1, 2026October 1, 2026 by steve

I started this one with a woman behind a wall. Not metaphorically. At least, not at first. I wanted a castle. An old one. Huge stone walls, dark forests, misty

FLOWERS

September 29, 2026September 29, 2026 by steve

SHAKEN
