Glass doors

like a ...

In the twilight of a violet sunset, when my soul dons veils of melancholy

...In the twilight of a violet sunset, when my soul dons veils of melancholy,
I sit alone, surrounded by phantasms and unspoken words, whispering ancient incantations,
My verses, silk threads woven fr...

These wars teach us nothing, not even how to conquer our fears

...These wars teach us nothing, not even how to conquer our fears.
We are still cave people.
Democratic cave people, perhaps, but that brings little comfort.

An aurora of shadows and lights where dreams become tangible,

a figmant of imagination,
