the gaps and extend their

Because when I die, all fabl...

du Maurier

...The door opens,
but I am not the new Mrs. de Winter,
just an awkward shadow slipping into normalcy,
where words are thicker than hardcovers—
silence clinging like dust to the spines
of books wit...

Say it to Fear

...Say it to fear,
That I've shaken off his grasp

I dive into thoughts, wishing my verses would soar ever higher

...I dive into thoughts, wishing my verses would soar ever higher,
Like a bird with boundless wings, lost in distant and divine horizons,
But they only float, like water birds with netted feet,

In the quietness of dusk, when shadows stretch long over the fields of memory

...In the quietness of dusk, when shadows stretch long over the fields of memory,
Memories rise like reflected ghosts, wandering through the labyrinth of thoughts,
Taking me back to the times of child...

In the silent depths of my mind, I ponder what defines a fulfilled life

...In the silent depths of my mind, I ponder what defines a fulfilled life,
Is it a path paved with discipline or perhaps a labyrinth of unbound pleasure?
Maybe the truth hides in the time spent with ...

...White horses unsure of flight
they unfurl before dawn

...Just a single astral flicker births upon the darkness a crest of day,
A lone strand of wax, dancing its aura
Dispels the night –
In a delirium of glimmers that chase away the phantoms of fear,

A symphony of stillness envelops the soul,
In silence we embrace, we become whole.

I stand alone and gaze upon the field full of crosses

...I stand alone and gaze upon the field full of crosses,
In silence, with an empty soul, I think of the days that have passed,

Mantra Ride

.... for public domain

a flame on a wick,
