Sunbeams and Shadows


Light and fate weave their way

In dawn's benign grey

Bursting free from the rills

Shadows dance in light's design

Echoing what's been and what's divine

What will be, will be, it says

While the wind gently sways 

Moments merge

Like threads in time

Lost whispers rise

In this rhyme

In the weave

A story's told

Of paths that crossed

Of hearts that hold

In silent spaces

Echoes abide

Unwritten lines

Where hearts reside

The unseen thread

It pulls us through

Into the mystery

Where love is true

In the folds of time

Shadows hide

Fragments of us

In whispers slide

The unsaid words

The unchosen roads

In the mosaic

They find their abodes

Into the stillness

In solitude...

I found my voice

A hermit's path

My heart's choice

No echoes of the world's loud din,

Only whispers of my soul within

I hid away

To heal, mend and find my day

No judgments

No expectations

Just the stillness


In silence...

I found my strength

A transformation

A  rebirth's length

The world outside receded fast

As I emerged, reborn, at last

My eyes, like lotus petals, opened wide

A new perspective

My spirit's tide

The recluse became the seer

A spiritual awakening

My heart's clear

No longer hiding

But, shining bright

A light in darkness

Guiding light

My solitude

A sacred space

Where I found myself

My true face

Rekindled

In ashes of what once was

A spark flickers

Is it a phoenix's gasp?


I ask! 


I wander in night

Till fragments of me start to stitch and ignite...


Yet again!


The shards of dreams

The broken glass

Reflections of a life that didn't last

Yet, like they say

In the cracks

Light seeps through

A path unfolds

Where shadows once resided too


Worn and torn

I gather pieces

A mosaic of a soul...


Reborn!


The weight of loss

A catalyst true

Forging me anew

Like tempered steel strong and new


In emptiness 

I find a strange peace

A space where.

Fear and hope entwine...


Release!


The map is gone

But, the journey is mine

Finding myself

In the wreckage


I redefine!

Lost Whispers


In empty spaces

Your whispers linger

Echoes of laughter

Now a sorrowful singer

Memories flood

Like autumn's golden light

But like fallen leaves

You are gone from sight


Every step feels like a journey back

To moments shared

Now lost in the haze of fact

Your smile haunts me

A bittersweet refrain

A melody that only echoes pain


We were stars aligned

In a cosmic dance

Now, I am left with just this hollow trance

Weight of what's lost presses down on me

A longing that refuses to be set free


In dreams...

I still reach out for your hand

But like sand slipping through

You have slipped this land

Gone, yet present

Like a scent in the air

A reminder of love that wasn't meant to stay

But is hard to bear

Burning Blossoms

 


On the street of sighs a dream lies dead

Rows of blossoms whisper love, pink and white in thread

Petals breathe perfume of trust, a tender, sweet caress,

While behind glass, a fire gnaws, a betrayal's fierce confess


A figurine with wilted hope holds love in his hand

Walks toward the blazing shop, where vows turned to ashland

Flowers scream in fragrant grief, their beauty torn apart

As flames devour the sanctuary of lover's beating heart


Scent of roses fights the smoke, a duel of scent and scorch

Betrayal's ember cracks the glass shattering every porch

Yet in ruin, euphoric cries of love's fierce, dark bloom

Rise from ashes like phoenix tears, perfuming doom


Each petal's memory ignites, a candle in the night

Turning grief to gilded pain, a bittersweet delight

The lover's heart, a garden lost, now burns with embered grace

Embracing agony and ecstasy in the same dark space


In the end, the street remembers the love‑kissed flowers' sigh

And the ash‑kissed ruins sing of betrayal's euphoric lie

That even when love is burnt to ash

its scent survives the blaze

A dark euphoria of loss, where broken hearts still raise

Shadows into Bloom?

In shadows deep

I feel confined

Buried alive

My heart and mind

Weight of night

Bears me down

A feeling lost

With no renown

But, let me pause and breathe

Let my thoughts unwind

Perhaps, I have been planted

For roots to find?

In darkness lies the seed's design

Growth begins

Pushing through the grind

Up towards light

My spirit is aligned

Blooming bright

A new path will I find?

Roots dig deep

They search and clive

A foundation strong

For what's to thrive

Night is dark, yet stars appear

Guiding lights

When all seems unclear

In silence, wisdom starts to speak

A whispered truth

My soul can seek

Darkness hides a hidden door

Leading me forth 

To something more

I might be broken

And shattered on ground

But from the cracks 

New life is found

Storm may rage 

And winds may howl

Yet seeds of strength 

Begin to sprout and grow

For, every end 

A new start is born

A chance to rise and reborn

So when I am lost 

In darkest night

Let me remember 

That a guiding light

What seems as darkness

Could be light instead

A chance to grow

A new path ahead

Still...

 


I look for traces of you in everything, 

A way of life, where memories linger

The ache of absence echoes in empty space,

Like the scent of wildflowers in a deep wood's embrace


In places we called our own, I still see you,

Lanes where hands held warmth and hopes wove love

Resting my head on your shoulders calmed the storm within

Eyes met, and time seemed to stand still and surreal 


Echoes of connections, lifetimes old,

An invisible chord that tied us, never to unfold

I visit the home we built, in imagination's space,

Sans bricks, but filled with love's charm


A home I claim as mine, where I dwell and recall

Treasured moments, woven like a precious hall

Is it empty now? Or is it alive with memories sown?

A bond that stood strong, through trials, love has known


Laughter, banter, bittersweet and true,

Promises unspoken, yet a solid bond 

I knew this wouldn't last in mortal form,

So I set you free, though my heart longed to embrace you forever


Albeit, with a hope that our paths will cross, again

In another dimension, beyond time & space

Or perhaps, in another lifetime,

Where there won't be any space & scope

Of misunderstandings or conditions beset
