A great honour to collaborate with the very talented Sandra Adams. A great inspiration for my muse.

There's an obscurity on the threads of darkness dare I peer beneath the starless shroud of midnight's veil as I walk through the misty breath that beclouds my vision in hopes it leads me to the temple of your soul? My dearest my comfort is there, yet I feel a quivering in the flames beneath these gusts that prevail through inaudible voices falling winded in the distance where these shadows walk between us I feel discernment in memories as these bony fingers reach out my heart shudders beneath the orchestra of night as it beckons a samba from the angel of death as it spans its wings before me I shiver breathless in its cold as the flames grow dimmer yet this time love, I fear for you as dissolution ascends above me Muddled mind ventures through vivid vales of scepticism. Slowly subsiding to my knees under the shadow of moonlight, crows gathers as helpless hands clench decomposing soil. Sapless lips gasp for oxygen, shivering in illusory mistiness. Death's harbinger stands before me, an uninvited hooded eclipse, holding me prisoner, strangling my soul with naked tree tendrils. In silent steps he walks towards me, I have no will left to fight. He has no mercy, content on me kissing the mouth of the earth. Words hidden behind metaphors, surface upon shores of regret, flashbacks are like daggers, reminders of unspoken, unwritten words. My love mourn for me not, as I fall into the graveyards of poets, in death we still connect, as my words will always live through you. Silent One collaboration with Sandra Adams 13 October 2019

Bravo! The descriptions are so detailed, and as dark as it is, it's a beautiful dance. Your two minds blend together well. This seems like a difficult feat.

"...as my words will always live through you".. Poet's quill will ever keep alive our love.. the flame will ever light darkness and love will ever decrypt obscurity.. in our Poetry! You do create your words, Silent One.. you confide in them your joys and sorrows in a very deep and wonderful flair! I greatly enjoyed your inspirational poetry in collaboration with our fellow poetess and friend, Sandra Adams.. Best regards and blessings.

A "Graveyard of Poets" In a sense, we are embracing such. As many Poets are not with us anymore. Famous- and those that have placed emotions upon the page.. as often as they could. Beautiful collaboration Sandra and Silent One. ~ Brandy

Truly awe inspiring poetry my friends. A somber but ravishing meal for a poet to feast upon as life dictates it's own real world poetic truths.. Combined your pens set the stage for a delicious taste of dark lusts, human deeper inner thoughts, imaginations and poetic renderings that stir the reader's mind. A fav...

An amazing write...again a seamless collaboration, funny SO I turned to this poem as you are one of my faves, and so was reading this not knowing it was a collaboration. I was thinking as I was reading I said to myself this sounds a lot like Sandy, and boom I get to the end and learn it's a collaboration. You both have a distinct style but merge stylistically really well!

It is easy to tell her style, because she is unique and a great writer.. thank you John

I have the honor to be the first one to say, WOW! Splendid vocabulary..a journey through dark and poignancy from two gifted poets. Understatement to say this poem is magnificent. A must read and reflect kind of write. Kudos to you both Silent One and Sandy. You complement each other and enhance your collaboration!
