Premium Member In the silent depths of the night, where shadows dance in secret
In the silent depths of the night, where shadows dance in secret, I wove my fears with threads of stars, into a labyrinth of the soul. I withdrew when the light began to shine, when dreams took flight, Fleeing from the fear as old as time, an ancestral echo whispering constantly. Silent steps on unknown paths, I navigated through...

Premium Member In the depths of silence, where shadows dance in circles
In the depths of silence, where shadows dance in circles, A veil of illusions settles over lost thoughts, Philosophers wander on misty paths, seeking truth, Yet in the abyss of their minds, the phantoms of their vanity hide. Through labyrinths of melted wax, they weave words of smoke, In their temples of thoughts, they raise walls of self-deception, For each knows...

Premium Member In the deep silence of the night, where shadows dance in the abyss
In the deep silence of the night, where shadows dance in the abyss, I wonder if I tread again the path that once tore me apart, The wounds of time hide beneath the skin, memories that seem extinguished, Yet their blood awakens when oblivion becomes a sweet deception. How to endure the storm pouring from my troubled soul, When hidden...

Premium Member BALLET OF WORDS
BALLET OF WORDS Thoughts pirouette light, twirl on the blank screen of night, a ballet of words. Ink swirls with a dancer's grace, a grand jeté through the stars. Ink flows like soft rain, her verses spin on the breeze, gentle, yet profound. Spirit spills onto the page, a pas de deux with her soul. This poem was written for and published at Writer' Monk's weekly...

Premium Member In the depth of silence, where shadows dance their eternal ritual
In the depth of silence, where shadows dance their eternal ritual, A song of the heart is born, a call piercing the veil of forgetfulness, There where the soul travels through abysses of light and dream, Seeking meaning in the chaos of stars that unravel into memories. The river of thoughts flows incessantly, whispering tales from foggy times, Where ancient...
