Secrets cling to the shadows, the light Softly glowing, flowing against a soft night While the melancholy dreams breathe, stirred By the distant thunder, the storm’s heard Revealing the silence, the story so inviting Soundless images of hope I keep writing! ...

Form: Englyn Unodl Union I touched a shadow and called it a flame, It smiled — but was the same. My scars whispered his name. Love left, but I still came. ...

In a world of words, where fear does not hide, perhaps nothing is concealed in shadow, I search for a code that unravels as I seek it, and I search for myself in the deep story, Until the story begins to seek me, a poem like a cipher that pretends to be deciphered, And words are the only...

You see me sitting in silence, but never ask what I’ve lost to be quiet. I smile like a habit — behind it, a heart held together with breath. The shadows walk with me kindly, hiding the parts I can’t bear to show....

She blooms in still air, where no footsteps dare to pass— a shadow in light, veiled in modesty and grace, unclaimed by trembling hearts. _____________________________________________________ Author’s Note: This tanka captures the essence of a woman who remains untouched and unseen—not because she lacks beauty or worth, but because she exists in a realm beyond fear and superficial desire. Like a bloom in...

Silent, heavy, Weighing, breaking, fading, A shadow lost within— A quiet goodbye. _____________________________________________________ Author’s Note: This poem captures the silent weight of emotional pain—how it lingers, fractures, and slowly fades into silence. The image of a shadow lost within speaks to the hidden struggles we carry, the parts of ourselves we release quietly. It ends with an unspoken goodbye—gentle, invisible, but...

A shadow walks where light won’t go, It knows your pace, your highs, your low. It copies truth, it mimics lies, Then slips away as daylight dies. It never sleeps, it doesn’t speak— Yet trails you close, quiet and sleek. You’ll never touch it, never quite— But still, it haunts the edge of light. ...

Let the brief time be cast away, Let the movable thread be loosely handled, Let the shadow be cast on you, Let the water flow over the distant edges. But when you know you’ll never get the wanderer back, Even as you cast him off, When you tally the drifters, They’re all misplaced and undone. The Moirai will let him go, Because, you know, You...

I run after a shadow, not quite mine, but one I want to be. Perfect in my eyes, not so perfect in others’. Trying to change because of judgment you’d never expect. In fact, it is true people whisper and hate. But years will pass, and they will learn their own flaws are just as clear. We all chase shadows, sometimes close enough, but some dreams aren’t meant to catch and that’s how...

Inspired by Ronnie James Dio song "Rainbow in the dark". ............................................ Again, shadows dance tonight—     this time, a grim tear swims down my cheek         as the light became less dim when the             thunder struck— the cold scolds my hold, and I lost my grip, reminding me I am free, like the lightning. But morning light fades into the dark;     the night has totally...

Silence isn’t quiet — it’s the scream stuck in my throat, the venom dripping from broken teeth, the promise shattered on cracked floors. Your silence is a fist beating against my ribs, each unanswered breath a knife twisting deeper, a war waging beneath broken skin. I claw at shadows grasping ghosts that slip through bleeding fingers, love drowned in the dark, where silence is a battlefield and...

Have I truly moved away, or am I just becoming a shadow in time, like a ghost forgetting it was once flesh and blood, my laughter is louder now, but only in places where your echo doesn't reach, I say I'm fine, as if wielding a language of illusions and other worlds. I've closed the paths to you, yet...
