Category: Poetry

Poetry is one of my passions. In my blog, I will publish poems which I wrote. Hence I opened a separate category for poetry.  

During the years, I’ve read Italian, English, American, and French poems because, during my childhood, I learned those three languages. Only recently, I started writing poetry which I never wanted to publish. I believe that it is very personal to publish them. 

Although I’m a physicist, I started to read poetry during high school, mainly in Italian and English. Only home I was reading French books. Indeed, the French language and literature were not in my school program.

Writing poetry is one of the most intimate ways to express feelings and moods. Time to time, I will publish poems. 

  • Soft Doom

    Soft Doom

    In shadows deep, where silence creeps,
    A soft doom whispers as darkness sleeps.
    Sweet echoes of the eerie night,
    In verses haunting, emotions ignite.

    Locked seals of secrets in shadows,
    Concealed in the dark of lost longings’ throws.
    A portal of dreams, solitary and bold,
    Casting a spell on the realm untold.

    Hopes and dreams were shattered and cast away by fate,
    A cruel design, a relentless twist of state.
    In the wreckage of expectations lay decay,
    Yet, from the ruins, resilience found its way.

    Slowly, the breeze of betrayal froze gardens and trees,
    Leaving behind a labyrinth of whispers and pleas.
    Whenever bliss was blossoming in the relentless darkness,
    A storm of shadows eclipsed every joy with starkness.

    Gloomy clouds of despair could not spare any hope,
    As they unleashed torrents of sorrow in an endless slope.
    Lost dreams were vanishing in fear,
    Like heartaches drowning slowly in tears.

    When the night came to its perpetual end,
    A silent cry disrupted in shadows to mend.
    A soft doom rifted through the midnight chimes,
    Whispering secrets in haunting rhymes.

    Oblivion was the ethereal answer to every mystery,
    Shrouded in the moonlight’s cryptic history.
    Light and darkness entwined in a feral embrace,
    Where echoes of eternity whispered through celestial space.

    Dark and oppressive secrets,
    Rustles in a moonlit recess.
    A forlorn tale that eerily persisted,
    Where shadows were coveted and their mysteries twisted.

    In the realm where darkness conspired,
    Echoes of forbidden and clandestine were desired.
    A garden of gleaming enigmas silently held to the night,
    Where nocturnal riddles danced in the soft starlight.

    The dreary destiny was overshadowed by sorrow and desolation,
    In a universe where expectations struggled against relentless isolation.
    A tower of fear and terror created an ascendency of contempt,
    When stormy clouds were gathering in a final attempt.

  • Lost Dreams

    Lost Dreams

    The grave of all those lost dreams was buried underneath forsaken whispers echoed through a solemn silence.
    Cold winds cut fears and memories like sharp blades in the obscurity of the night.
    Nothing could have been found in the sky as the clouds faded away on the horizon.
    Perpetual anguish concealed long reveries of desires and blisses.
    Fear would devour every hope of aliveness and happiness after misery burned thoughts and feelings.
    The quest for fate was undisclosed in the folly of unawareness and despair, although the time offended all the unpredictable intentions.
    The emotions gasped at their loss of expectation whenever the cruel destiny would destroy every existence.
    No safety was waiting for the naive creatures of immortal nights and austere longings.
    The realm of greed and grotesqueness was constantly depleting the universe of beauty.
    A thin layer of glow was shattering under the pressure of ominous ruthlessness.
    The preamble of defeat was imminent as a sarcastic warning of the end.
    Frozen loneliness was welcomed by obliviousness and destruction.
    All the sable castles were devastated by a raging ocean of indifference and cruelty.
    The solitude was the only companion, a shadow that clung to every thought like an unwavering ghost.
    Lost dreams were powerless, scattered like fragile remnants in the turmoil of forgotten aspirations.
    Nothing could have been preserved once the relentless march of time had claimed its inevitable toll.

  • Sunlit Inception

    Sunlit Inception

    In the dawn’s faded light, where shadows dissolved,
    A sunlit inception, a story metamorphosed.
    Fair hues caressed the waking globe,
    A celestial artwork of a miraculous dawn.

    With glimmers of light, morning unfolded,
    Chasing away the night, its secrets untold.
    The sun, a creator of shades so hallowed,
    Ignited the portrait where pristine tales shone.

    The empirical realms awoke in the sun’s warm embrace,
    A prom of radiance, a subdued composure.
    The universe whispered in the advent’s soft glow,
    A sonnet of the dash, in sunlight, was forsaken.

    Each sunlit inception, a promise anew,
    A chapter unveiled an indigo and purple sky.
    With every dawn, hopes took flight,
    In the sunlit inception, where dreams kindled.

    Beneath the cloudless onset’s evocative stare,
    Magic flames unfurled in a magnificent blaze.
    Spells were undisclosed and osculated by forenoon’s clasp,
    Beneath the stars’ celestial glow, tranquility enveloped the night.

    As darkness stretched its obscure tinge,
    Inducing slumber to chaotic thoughts.
    The breeze carried whispers, anecdotes untold,
    In the sunlit inception, a realm was revealed.

    With the dawn, an eerie silence draped the waking world,
    Unleashing wonders in the dim morning shadows.
    Each leaf, each dewdrop, a masterpiece was woven,
    In the sunlit inception, a mystery was unveiled.

    The clouds climbed higher, asserting their reign,
    A dark ruler in the vast firmament.
    Shadows advanced as twilight prevailed,
    In the nocturnal initiation, the shadows whispered secrets.

    A chorus of night creatures awoke as darkness descended,
    Their hymns were tributes in the starlit panorama.
    Amidst the veil of darkness, secrets were sparkled,
    In the tranquil night, sighs echoed through the aether.

  • An Elegy Of Night

    An Elegy Of Night

    In an elegy of night, shadows descended,
    A waltz of whispers, in darkness, arrayed.
    Moonlight wept upon the silent shore,
    As stars mourned tales of forevermore.

    Veiled sorrow drifted in a nocturnal hymn,
    A requiem was sung where the shadows swam.
    Ebon depths held secrets untold,
    Glistening tears in the silence unfold.

    Mournful echoes of the night’s embrace,
    Lamenting winds weaved a somber delight.
    Desolate blisses through the silent air,
    A symphony of grief in the moonlit lair.

    In obsidian mazes, a spectral sigh,
    Grief-laden moon painted the midnight sky.
    Solemn echoes resonated, softly they wept,
    A nocturne of sorrows, in silence, seeped.

    As a ghostly pallor veiled the world,
    An elegy of night, in darkness, unfolded.
    A depiction of shadows, a quiet refrain,
    In the heart of darkness, echoes remained.

    Beneath the reflection of the grieving moon,
    Ephemeral stars whispered a lugubrious tune.
    Creeping silence, a spectral frolic,
    In an elegy of night, shadows swayed.

    Dismal twilight, a gloomy veil,
    Lingering regrets, a melancholy trail.
    A fading glow in the abyss profound,
    Where sorrow and solace were intimately bound.

    A solitary raven, dark-winged and wise,
    Cawed the verses of ancient berceuses.
    Sable feathers in the stillness descended,
    As an elegy of night discovered its transcendence.

    Abyssal depths cloaked the world in sorrow,
    As the midnight dismay intertwined with the promise of an eclipsing darkness.
    Eternal sighs, a dirge in the eventide,
    In an elegy of night, shadows alighted.

  • A Gleaming Enchantment

    A Gleaming Enchantment

    A gleaming enchantment was vanishing into obscurity
    The dawn was wandering in the dark and gloomy silence
    Illusions of the sight disappeared in a solemn duskiness
    In an instant, melancholic silence and awe were hiding in the darkness
    Marvelous and bright blazes became oppressed by sorrow and dismay
    Regret lingered in secret thoughts in the silent dusk
    The faded glimmer of luminaries redeemed silent anguishes
    Obscurity of imagination manifested in the dimness of the night
    Restless and faint, the twilight hid a mysterious dismay
    Deep shadows enshrouded gloomy pleasures
    Grief and oblivion waited patiently, lingering in the shadows of time
    A profound stillness descended over a gloomy abyss amidst anguish
    Delightful and joyful dreams awarded the patience of an infinite expectancy
    In shadows deep, where anguish looms,
    Pain, distress, anxiety, gloom, doom
    A luminous spell was fading into the realm of shadows
    In the twilight’s embrace, whispers of uncertainty lingered, painting the sky with hues of doubt
    Melancholic tempests were secluded in a desolate and lugubrious forest of whims, and dreams vanished like shadows.

  • Darkness And Shadows

    Darkness And Shadows

    Darkness and shadows enveloped stormy blisses
    As a dreadful strangeness afflicted every mellowed quietness with harshness.
    Restless and dark lights glimmered through the ghastly paleness of sorrows.
    The serene ocean waves sighed at the desires’ brightness in profound silence.

    Images of anguish faded in the dusk when solitude hesitated to find amusement.
    Lonely longings of restrained gaieties dissolved like bubbles on the mirrors’ sleekness.
    Hesitating instants struggled against a sense of vanity,
    Gleams of light persuaded illusionary decay to shine like kaleidoscopic jewels.

    Unfair was the betrayal of taciturn obliviousness
    While storms dazzled the quiet obscurity of the remote.
    Gloomy ideas hunted ethereal and delightful hopes under the sublime thunders
    In the deep shadow hollowness.

    Gleams of sublimity disrupted a gloomy silence of fear
    When the cloudiness of stillness sunk into a deep slumber.
    Anguish was dissipated by lingering flames in the emptiness of the infinite,
    Desolate and gloomy mysteries of melancholic imagination faded away in the deep, hollowed valley of despair.

    Clouds of grief and hopeless sorrow mingled with wonder and happiness,
    A fate of resignation and devotion fell into the snare of dreadful emotions.
    Uncertainty abandoned every sparkle of ethereal loveliness and bliss,
    And rewards would have been granted to paradox and forgery.

    Regret and anguish sought refuge under the obscure shadows of silence and secrecy.
    Dreams were obscured by grief and a still melancholy of the night
    Wrapping the upper aether with a sparkling blue-purple veil.
    A silent stillness echoed in the fantasy realms of longings and delusions.

    Darkness and shadows whispered secrets, casting an enigmatic aura over secluded gardens at midnight.
    In the midst of this ethereal realm, the rustling leaves echoed their cryptic tales,
    Enchanting solitary wanderers with the enigma of the night’s concealed stories,
    Drawing them into a world undisclosed forever,
    Hidden under the veiled canopy of stars and sealed within the sanctuary of shadows and the whispers of the eternal night.

  • Gloomy Delights

    Gloomy Delights

    Gloomy delights in the mist were wandering on the waves of the ocean of dreams while veiled in clouds and lost in the gleaming tinges of the sky
    Expectations mingled with delusions whenever sorrow overwhelmed anger
    Extravagant treasures of knowledge illuminated the realm of beauty and truth
    Impressions of delight were obliterated by melancholy
    Boundless hopes embraced enthusiasm whenever regret would tear down the veil of bliss and joy
    Magnificent decay of lost dreams and delightful glimpses of sorrow were forever forsaken by the ghosts of darkness
    The stars trembled through the aether, and darkness obscured every mirror of light
    A lingering sublime stillness of the night awakened a twilight melancholy
    Distress and disillusionment cast away every speck of happiness and illusion
    Folly and vice obliterated every knowledge and wisdom
    Vacant and hollow anguishes sought refuge in a languid idleness
    The dimness of misery confined dreary castles built with displeasures and fears
    Raindrops fell like tears on the sleek and reflective cover of treasure chests
    Solitude increased among the gloom of lost desires, and silent dusks overshadowed the first gleam of nightmares
    Shadows of twilight resigned from the tumultuous nothingness
    Shades of sorrow fell upon the valleys of vanity and delight
    Mystic delights from distant obscurities died away in a solemn stillness
    Spells of whimsical fluctuations were enchanted by sparkling luminaries
    Dismal glimmers disappeared into the pale blue light of the night
    Languors of regret were overwhelmed by delirious delusions
    Wishes and hopes were annihilated by despair, and frail longings loomed every peaceful surrender
    Faraway from the realm of inessential naiveness, sighs echoed through the pure aether of beauty and sublimity
    The scent of truth was sealed into a crystal chest of humbleness and honesty, to never be disclosed to undesirable and ominous ghouls whenever the moonlit whispers unveiled the garden’s secrets.

  • Sublime And Ethereal Realms

    Sublime And Ethereal Realms

    Sublime and ethereal realms were forsaken in a bygone space and time
    Echoes of shadows were flickering like flames
    Forbidden passions ran away from every sight
    Silent mysteries of lost worlds were abandoned in the aether
    No time was allowed to tickle in the abysm of darkness
    The obscure gloominess reigned over the light of fire
    Delightful blisses were whispering behind decrepit portraits
    Love was a manifestation of the unconscious stillness
    When ardor overwhelmed every sense in the realm of transcendental desires
    Ancient passions were annihilated on the ocean floor of nothingness
    Ghostly longings were drowned by the water of rational knowledge
    Broken hearts were shattered like porcelain amphorae
    Nightmares conquered the sublime and ethereal realms of dreams
    A still wind of indifference blew amid the dark gardens of futile illusions
    Lost longings were doomed in the seclusion of deep abysses
    Wandering glowing flames were ensnared in the gloomy landscape of dismay
    Howling oceans of anguish were shrieking dreadful vanities and feelings of pride
    The shadows of twilight were released in the summoning of dreams and nightmares
    Ghostly halls of forsaken realms of fire were blazing with everlasting flames
    Collapsed grief and fear muttered against every speck of slumber in the quietness of obliviousness
    Mournful sighs glistened at the sight of lost and dismal feelings
    Gloom and shadow swallowed every glimpse of light
    The stillness of the night echoed through the ethereal realms of sorrow
    In the forgotten depths of hollow dreams, time surrendered to the spectral lights of endless nights
    Freely roaming in depths, shadows withdrew among the tranquil gleams of the void
    When the heart’s forlorn echoes found no dwelling, love, and anguish were forever paradoxes
    Through sublime and ethereal gloomy realms, a spark of hope resided in the silence and stillness of the night
    And in the eerie quietude of nocturnal depths, a solitary glint of longing lingered, traversing the intricate maze of ethereal shadows.

  • Transcendental Desires

    Transcendental Desires

    Transcendental desires of senses bloomed in a garden of darkness
    When torpor annihilated rationality and logic, the only sight resided in metaphysical passions
    Everything spun like a carousel of emotions and impulses
    Sighs of bliss and merriment blended with hopes and delusions
    Vibrations of connection rumbled through the aether like soliloquies of souls
    Transcendental desires kept flying under the influence of the wind of fate
    Time ceased to exist, and the stars glowed bright in the dark infinity
    Faded whispers of fierce love pierced the souls like burning arrows made of flames
    Thoughtful and gloomy echoes through the wind of remembrances rested deep inside haunting hallways of remote relics on the ocean floor
    Vain expectations fell into futile and evanescent abysses of dreary and fear
    Nonsense was often the manifestation of delusional stupors
    In the vague twilight’s embrace, whispers of forgotten dreams jigged upon the edges of dark shadows
    Ethereal, gloomy clouds hovered across the ephemeral canvas of the night
    Echoes of secret yearnings thundered amidst the star-studded firmament
    Intricate tales of covert devotion lingered among undisclosed desires
    A scent of petrichor welcomed the earnest longings amid a garden of bloomy fragrances invocating trysts of the night
    The cloak of midnight’s allure wrapped untold confessions
    Amidst the labyrinthine aisles of invisible mazes, forsaken vows resonated like a serenade of the intangible
    Surreptitious oaths were traded under the veil of secretiveness
    Whilst longings and hopes entwined like tendrils of ivy climbing the walls of desolate ruins
    In the dim glare of starry nights, secluded hearts entangled transcendental desires
    In the realm of darkness, gloaming shades sighed, transcending the elusive veil of night
    Within the enigmatic infinity abyss, mysteries of fervent and ethereal desires prospered, and their essence caressed the silence
    Shrouded in darkness, boundless spaces of nothingness lay in the abyss of the sea, where shadows snarled with the unfathomable chasms
    In the middle of the oblivious spells, transcendental desires were obscured by the murky embrace of the unknown
    Lost essences felt decrepit and burdened by disillusionment and relinquished dreams while they wandered lost in the immensity of the universe
    Abyssal havens, where light faded, and darkness reigned, concealed forgotten treasures and occult fantasies, entombing the enigmatic stillness that pervaded every imperceptible kingdom
    Transcendental desires lingered like spectral whispers, in the heart of abysms, where time surrendered to the eternal bliss of untamed passions.
    Esther Elizabeth Racah

  • Madness And Passion

    Madness And Passion

    Madness and passion were committed to ardor and fancies in a daydream of eternal discomfort and ineptitude
    Nights of elusive glimpses of eternity faded with the revelation of enigmas and secrets
    The mere wisdom pretended malevolence would have been transformed into fair knowledge in the vast ocean of light and darkness
    The shadows of reason and doubt were trapped into chests of remembrances
    The immense lake of silence was shining under the dazzling wilderness of dreams
    Beauty and splendor were locked into the amphora of delirious blisses
    Glowing clouds poured rain of silver and gold specks of integrity and decay
    Whilst magic crimson magnificences were overshadowed by sorrow and sadness
    A lovely twilight of promises was perturbed by gelid winds of betrayal
    Time followed the path of solemn silence amid murmurs of memories
    Turbulent vanities dreamed of odd and radiant loveliness in a slumber of senses
    In the midst of silent nights, the most terrible temptations burned beautiful thoughts and expectations
    Struggles of fervor and delirium fell into an ecstasy of dreariness
    Beloved devotions turned into flickers of bitterness and curses
    An inextinguishable flame glowed with unpredictable and unexpected desire
    Passionate and dreamy swoons were overwhelmed by fragility and vulnerability
    Shadows of dismay embraced the obliviousness and nothingness
    Whenever persistent longings clutched hearts abandoned at the mercy of solitude and indifference
    Sadness found a haven in the contemplation of metaphysical hopes.
