Dan Enache Poet Free verse

I am alone, with silence biting deep into my bones

I am alone, with silence biting deep into my bones,
It's not pure quiet, but a sharp stir, a void that gnaws at me,
It digs a dwelling in the marrow of my being, and I wonder,
Am I condemned to walk forever on dark paths,
With darkness as my only companion, an echo in the night?
The future flickers, like a flame in a storm, trembling,
From afar, like a living hope, it winks at me,
I stagger toward it, carrying within me the bones of all past days,
With the hope that the fire ahead will eventually burn,
The ghosts that haunt me, to lose them in the blaze.
But the ghosts are cunning, they change faces with masks,
Of those I've loved, words left unsaid in time,
Doors I dared not open, whisper sweetly like venom,
Until I forget where the present ends and the past begins,
And in the labyrinth of memories, I lose myself, without a compass.
I reach out, but in my palms remain only ashes and dust,
Every dream I embrace turns to powder,
Before I can breathe it, feel it flow through me,
And so, with a heavy heart, I wander among shadows and desires,
Hoping that one day I will find the path to a gentler dawn.
