Solstice

Oh, solstice, time of turning,
When light and dark convene,
A cosmic dance of balance,
A sacred pause unseen.

In summer’s radiant splendor,
The sun ascends its throne,
A fiery ball of brilliance,
That warms us to the bone.

At winter’s darkest vigil,
When night’s embrace is deep,
A glimmer of rebirth awakes,
As shadows gently creep.

Solstice, sacred threshold,
Where worlds collide and blend,
A timeless mystery unfolds,
A story yet unpenned.

Let us gather on this day,
To celebrate the light,
To honor darkness too,
And all that lies between.

For in the dance of opposites,
We find our perfect place,
A cosmic tapestry of life,
Where time and space embrace.

Solstice, time of turning,
When light and dark convene,
A sacred pause for wonder,
Where dreams and magic teem.

Eyes Following You

Eyes following you,
Wherever you may go,
A silent gaze that watches,
A secret you don’t know.

Eyes following you,
Through bustling streets and crowded halls,
A mystery unfolding,
A story yet to call.

Whose eyes are those, you wonder,
That follow you unseen?
Do they hold love or longing,
Or something dark and keen?

Perhaps they’re eyes of guardian angels,
Sent to guide and keep.
Or maybe they’re the eyes of shadows,
Watching from the deep.

But whether friend or foe,
Those eyes are fixed on you.
So heed their silent message,
And let your spirit brew.

For in the gaze of others,
We find our own reflection.
And in the depths of their eyes,
Lies the key to our direction.

So let the eyes that follow you,
Be a mirror to your soul.
And in their gaze, discover,
The truth that makes you whole.

Life is Like a Cease-fire

Life is like a cease-fire,
An uneasy truce between
The warring factions of our soul.

We try to forget the past,
To bury the pain and the hate,
But it’s always there, lurking in the shadows.

We try to move on, to build a new life,
But the old wounds are never really healed.

We live in fear of the next battle,
Of the next time the guns will start to fire.

But for now, we have a cease-fire.
We can try to be happy, to live in peace.

But we know that it’s only temporary,
That the war could start again at any moment.

So we live each day to the fullest,
We make the most of every moment,
Because we never know when it will all end.

Lost in the Dark

Lost in the dark, I wander alone,
With no guide to lead me home,
My heart beats fast, my mind’s a mess,
I fear the worst, I must confess.

The shadows dance and play their game,
As I struggle to find my way again,
My eyes strain hard to see some light,
But all around is endless night.

Moon Shadows

The moon, a glowing orb in the sky,
Casts shadows upon the earth below.
A world of darkness, yet not quite,
For the moon’s light still shines bright.

The shadows dance and sway,
As the moon rises higher each day.
A world of mystery and intrigue,
As the shadows shift and fatigue.

The moon’s shadow is a thing of beauty,
A sight to behold for all who see.
A reminder that even in darkness,
There is still light to be found.

The Faceless Fear

The darkness creeps, the shadows loom,
A fear so deep, like impending doom.
No face to see, no eyes to meet,
Just icy grip and pounding beat.

Paralyzed with dread, can’t move a limb,
Heart pounds so hard, it’s deafening.
The faceless fear, the unknown fright,
Grips you tight, all through the night.

Embracing Life’s Adventure

With each breath, I rise and fight,
Against the shadows of the night.
I seize the day with all my might,
And chase my dreams with pure delight.

I climb the mountains, brave the seas,
And let my heart soar with the breeze.
I dance and sing with joyful ease,
And cherish life’s sweet memories.

For in this world, so vast and wide,
There’s beauty in each moment’s stride.
So let us live with hearts open wide,
Embracing life’s adventurous ride.

Scared of Life’s Shadows

Scared of life’s shadows, I shiver and shake,
Swept in a sea of sorrows, I silently suffocate,
Soul sinking in sadness, I seek a saving grace,
Struggling to survive, stuck in a scary space.

Anxiety and anguish, always on my mind,
Alone and afraid, no solace can I find,
A prisoner of my thoughts, paralyzed by fear,
Fighting for freedom, but the end is never near.

Luminous Lurking

A dark ambiance of light,
Dimness descends with the dusk.
Eerie shadows dance in sight,
As luminosity turns to rust.

Somber shades of twilight,
Shroud the world in gloom.
The brightness of day takes flight,
And obscurity fills the room.

Dreary darkness envelopes all,
As the last rays of light fade away.
The night’s eerie whispers call,
And the shadows come out to play.

In this dim and dusky land,
Where light is but a memory.
The shadows take their stand,
And create an eerie symphony.

Shrouded Shadows

Shadows silently sneak and sway,
Softly shifting shapes in the sun’s last ray.
Spectral shades, solemnly stay,
Slinking, sliding, slipping away.

Solemn darkness, slowly descends,
Silent secrets, shadows befriend.
Shadows stretch, sinisterly extend,
Sightless specters, shadows portend.

Sable shadows, slowly spread,
Spectral shapes, silently shred.
Shadows shroud, secrets unsaid,
Sorrowful sighs, shadows shed.

Shadows shift, silently show,
Secrets sealed, shadows know.
Shadows shrink, sorrowful slow,
Silent sadness, shadows bestow.

Way Past the Point of Fearing the Darkness

Way past the point of fearing the darkness,
I embrace it with open arms, no less.
For in its depths, I find my solace,
A place where I can truly harness.

The shadows that once made me quiver,
Now guide me to a place that’s richer.
Where secrets lie and dreams come alive,
And fears are nothing but a mere jive.

In this realm, I am the master,
Of all that’s dark and full of wonder.
For I have conquered what once enslaved me,
And now, in darkness, I am truly free.

The Terribles Astound Me

The terribles astound me,
Their presence, oh so grandly,
Filling me with fear and dread,
As I lay alone in bed.

Their whispers, eerie and cold,
Make my blood run icy and old,
Their shadows dance upon my wall,
As I try to ignore their call.

But no matter how hard I try,
The terribles never say goodbye,
Their haunting presence always near,
Filling me with endless fear.

Moon’s Melancholic Mood

Beneath a moon that bares its mournful spleen,
The world is cloaked in melancholy sheen,
The midnight shadows, long and lean,
A sorrowful scene, a haunting dream.

The moon’s melancholic mood, so serene,
Casting its light upon the world unseen,
A solitude that fills the heart with keen,
A sorrowful song, an eerie and keen.

The night is still, yet the moon does scream,
Its mournful spleen, a sorrowful theme,
A melancholic mood, a haunting scheme,
A world of shadows, a sorrowful dream.

And in this moonlit world of sorrow and woe,
A beauty lingers, a haunting glow,
A melancholic mood, a sorrowful show,
A moon that shines, a sorrowful beau.

A song softly sung in the shadows

A song softly sung in the shadows,
Serenades the silent night,
Melodic musings that meander and flow,
Mysteriously masking their might.

Darkness dances with the daring ditty,
Drenched in secrecy and surprise,
A free-spirited fugitive so pretty,
That passion and purpose it implies.

Haunting harmonies hang in the air,
Heralding hope with heartening hue,
A beautiful ballad beyond compare,
Beckoning believers to construe.

So listen to the languishing lyrics,
Lest you lose the lullaby so light,
A message meaningful and metaphoric,
A symphony in the shadows of sight.

The Descent into Darkness

The Descent into Darkness

The descent into darkness, a treacherous path, Where shadows consume, and fears amass, In the depths of despair, a soul does wander, Seeking the light, yet lost in the yonder.

Through the gloom, a flicker of hope, A beacon to guide, a way to cope, In the midst of the night, a promise is made, To rise from the ashes, and embrace the new day.

Your Ghost Still Haunts Me

You linger in the shadows, Of my every waking dream. I see your face so clearly, It’s not as it may seem.

A Heart Heavy with Grief

A heart heavy with grief, it sighs,
As tears cascade from weary eyes,
In the silence of the night, it cries,
For the love that’s lost, and the goodbyes.

Through the darkness, it seeks the light,
A glimmer of hope, a respite,
Yet in the shadows, it must fight,
To mend the pieces, torn by plight.

Silhouettes of Two Lovers

In the cover of the night,
Silhouettes of two lovers in sight.
Whispers of breath in the air,
As they embrace with intimate care.

Their bodies entwined as one,
A dance of passion has just begun.
They move in sync with every touch,
Lost in lust, they crave so much.

With every kiss, a fiery desire,
Their hearts ablaze like a burning pyre.
Silhouettes meld together in the dark,
As they ride the waves of ecstasy like a bark.

They become one with the shadows,
Bodies glistening, as the night bestows,
A passion that cannot be tamed,
In this moment they are truly claimed.

Forgotten Lust

A lust once luscious, now lost and lonely
A flame that fizzled, forgotten and solely
In memory, a morsel of moments melt
Like sweet syrup, softly spiced and smelt
Ephemeral embers, a flicker of flame
Kindling kisses, crushing crave and claim
Shrouded in shadows, shimmering with sheen
The forgotten lust, now a fading dream

Suppressing screams, stifling sighs,

The Lights of the Night

The Lights of the Night

As daylight fades and darkness creeps,
The city awakens from its sleep,
A sea of lights twinkle and shine,
Guiding us through the night divine.

A world of shadows comes to life,
Eclipsing the sun with its might,
But in the dark, we find our way,
Guided by the lights of the night.

Whispering Terrors

Whispering Terrors

Whispers in the night, I hear them loud and clear
Terrors in my mind, they fill me up with fear
Shadows dancing in the dark, their movements undefined
Haunting my every thought, I cannot leave them behind

My heart is racing fast, my breaths are shallow and quick
I close my eyes and pray that it’s just a twisted trick
But when I open them again, the terror still persists
Whispering terrors, haunting me like a ghostly mist

Shadows and Sunbeams

Shadows and Sunbeams

Shadows and sunbeams dance their play
One will darken, one will light the way
Together they create a world of contrast
One that is both eerie and vast

But when the sun sets and the shadows are gone
The world turns dim and the light is none
Yet even then, we know the sun will rise
And the dance between shadow and light will materialize

Shadows of the Unseen

In the stillness of the night,
When all is dark and quiet,
Shadows dance across my sight,
Elusive, intangible, yet so vibrant.

Everywhere I turn, they follow,
Always just out of reach,
A mystery I cannot solve,
A puzzle I cannot breach.

Sometimes they seem to breathe,
Whispering secrets in my ear,
And I can almost see,
What lies beyond our fear.

Other times they fade away,
Leaving me in the dark,
But I know they’ll come back someday,
To leave their mark.

The shadows of the unseen,
Are a part of who we are,
The darkness that we cannot glean,
But we know is never far.

So I’ll embrace this mystery,
And I’ll follow where it leads,
For in these shadows lies the key,
To life’s most precious needs.

Beware of the Dark

Beware of the Dark

Beware of the dark, my dear,
For it holds secrets and fear.
It’s where the shadows come to play,
And the monsters come out to prey.

In the dark, there’s no light to see,
Only the sounds of your own heartbeat.
It’s where the imagination runs wild,
And the mind plays tricks on a child.

But sometimes, the dark is not so bad,
It’s a place where dreams are had.
Where stars twinkle in the sky,
And the moonlight shines so high.

So, beware of the dark, my friend,
But don’t let it be your end.
For in the darkness, there’s also light,
And it can guide you through the night.

Shadows don’t hide your beauty

Shadows don’t hide your beauty

Shadows don’t hide your beauty,
As you lay there, so serene,
I can’t help but feel the duty,
To explore every inch, every scene.

Your curves, your lines, your form,
All laid bare before my eyes,
I am lost in the erotic storm,
As I worship you with sighs.

Passion ignites, flames grow higher,
As we become one in the night,
Our bodies entwined, our desire,
Burning hot, oh what a sight.

Choose to Love You in Silence

Choose to Love You in Silence

Choose to love you in silence, my heart
For it is in the quiet that love can start
Unspoken words, they hold so much power
As they bloom and grow like a beautiful flower

For my love for you will reflect in my eyes and brows
I’ll be there for you in the shadows and light
Choosing to love you in silence, with all my might.

The Darkness That Lurks Within

The Darkness That Lurks Within

Beneath the surface of my skin,
There lies a darkness deep within,
It creeps and crawls and never sleeps,
And in my heart it dwells and keeps.

I try to hide it every day,
But it always seems to find its way,
A shadow cast upon my soul,
That leaves me feeling far from whole.

Beyond the Veil of Night

Beyond the Veil of Night

Beyond the veil of night, lies a world so vast,
A place where shadows dance, and dreams are cast,
Where the moon, a faithful guide, lights up the way,
And stars, like diamonds, glitter and sway.

It’s a world of secrets, where mysteries unfold,
And stories untold, from times of old,
Whispers that echo, through the endless expanse,
And the universe’s song, in its cosmic dance.

In this world, the soul finds a place to rest,
A moment to breathe, and forget the quest,
To be one with the universe, and feel its might,
As the veil of night, fades into the light.

For in this world, beyond the veil of night,
Lies the key to life, and its endless sight,
A reminder that in the darkness, there’s always light,
And that every end, is but a new beginning, so bright.

So let us journey beyond the veil of night,
To a world of wonder, and endless delight,
For in its embrace, we’ll find our way,
And live to see, another wondrous day.

The Darkness Can’t Haunt Us

In the night, the darkness creeps,
But in our hearts, hope still sleeps.

But in the end, we will believe.
For the darkness can’t haunt us,
When we choose to trust.

Shadows and Solitude #Poetry

In the shadows I find solace,
In the darkness I find peace,
For in the light I’m reminded,
Of the pain that will not cease.

The world around me fades to grey,
And I am lost in thought and mind,
The weight of sadness drags me down,
And leaves my heart and soul entwined.

The solitude of darkness calms,
The chaos of my troubled soul,
And in the silence I find rest,
A balm that makes me feel whole.

But still I know that in the light,
The shadows will not disappear,
And so I walk a careful line,
Between the darkness and my fear.

For though the shadows bring me peace,
The solitude can be too much,
And so I seek the light of day,
A hand to reach out and to touch.

The darkness is a part of me,
But it need not be all I see,
For in the light I find the hope,
That brings me back to being free.

But bright shadows can make our hearts leap.

Shadows of Self-Doubt

Shadows of Self-Doubt

Shadows of self-doubt, they loom so tall
Invisible chains that hold us in thrall
They whisper lies in the darkest of nights
And fill our hearts with endless frights

But if we dare to face them, head-on
We’ll find that the shadows will soon be gone
For in the light of truth, doubt can’t thrive
And we’ll find the strength to truly thrive.
