Haunted passions in the sleepless winter nights became lost dreams of perennial fears
Beloved longings of past betrayals turned into inscriptions of forced beliefs
When darkness and light were unified, a coveted impossibility haunted passions and expectations
While a storm of indifference swept away every hope and fervor
In the most remote time of existence, the nightmares obliged the darkness to prevail
As soon as the obliviousness pretended to be defeated by the obsession of unsteady luminaries
Nevermore would have happened a blissful vision of enchanted eagernesses
Unlimited hopes glimmered like perpetual stars fixed upon a phantasmagorical firmament made of delusional fantasies
Hallucinations would have invited a whirlwind of misconceptions and deceptions
Vague impressions of a futile transformation failed to bear unbound fears
Unrestrained dreads of constant abandonment fell into astonishment
Silence became the ruler in the infinity, where time was annihilated
And overwhelmed dreams lost every connection with the intemperance
Torpor and mendacity overwhelmed every good deed
Fatal was the minacious grief in the garden of nightmares and anguish
Shady aversions obliterated unknown fates
Mysterious whims of idylls and kisses were swallowed by pretentious discouragements
Loneliness and disillusionment welcomed an apathy of senses
Insensible impatience could not have lifted the weight of impertinence
Following time run under the mysterious echo of haunted passions
Evocative ephemeral realms of darkness and slumber advanced in their quest for decay and dismay
Smothered anguish was ensnared by the gloominess of oblivion
Labyrinths of darkness were shaken by blasts of irrefutable anger and disdain
The agony of despair concealed every cloud of merriment and delight
The audacity of blissful hopes perished under the resilient cynicism of sarcasm
Whenever the nightmares shined bright under the shadow of the emptiness
And every wish altered into a portal of discontent and deception
Until the very last speck of regret.

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.

Haunted Passions

Falling Into The Void
Falling into the void of memories
Whenever time never desists to stop
Painful remembrances were cherished in vain
Not far from troubles and knowledge
While hopes were never taken for granted
Loss and grief would become constant companions in dreams
Lifeless awareness was a futile distress
Expectations never lasted perpetually
In a mournful illusion of despotic betrayal
Stupor seized thoughts under weeping clouds of solitude
The obstinate bitterness of doubts overwhelmed every naive enthusiasm
Tainted was the consciousness of the imagination
Only a silent decay would have amended all the forsaken desires
Wonder subsided to indignation
Dismay and contempt grieved at the loss of trust
Shallow vanity buried every capability of logical reasoning
Desires lost their grip over embedded prejudices
The oppression of distressing impressions defeated the consciousness
When the dark night extinguished every orientation of joy and sorrow
Regret and fears would not weaken their deafening blares
Until the eternal luminaries would have been concealed and their ethereal flames smothered
An unfortunate fate of deception misled graceful longings and blisses
Amidst a labyrinth of memories, time lasted relentlessly
Sorrowful remembrances clung to forlorn misfortunes
Fragile wishes entwined with impermanence
A silent realm of slumber and an ephemeral mist of distress became tragic illusions
A despotic betrayal and stupor reigned beneath weeping clouds of solitude
Tainted imagination disintegrated forsaken desires
Marvel was subdued by the grip of indignation in an echoing silence
Dismay and honesty faded away as vanity prevailed in the certitude of fame
Suspense darkened every contemplation, generating every fear
Celestial luminaries vanished, and their ethereal flames ceased to flutter
Mirrors of regret deceived longings and dreams, casting them into the void.

Gloomy Shadows
Gloomy shadows descended over the quietness of the dusk
A silvery and ethereal smoke met a sorrowful oblivion
Despair and grief conjured against every shard of bliss
Melancholy would have been the gift and cure for anguish and woes
A rain of misery and dismay flooded the gardens of hope
Obscurity was a relief to painful ideas and thoughts
Although, oftentimes, the amusement was found in gloomy shadows
Stormy skies full of clouds could not prevent the stars from brightening in their splendor
Nothingness was the shade of distresses
Whilst sighs of tainted dreams overshadowed the immensity of the obscurity
The abyss of sublimity wept tears of gems and gold
Silent sobs disclosed the imperturbable infinity
An ocean of illusions and lost desires sought to amuse a soft slumber
Dismal tales full of melancholy reveries embraced pain and sorrow
Restless nights of torment would have sobbed infinite tears of distress until the mildness of the darkness faded away
Late was the slow ticking of time for broken secrets once locked in the doom of an oath
Languid torpor made the fears and concerns melt into the dust of stars
A cloudiness firmament was the witness of chaotic destructions
Where a transcendental sublimity was shattered into invisible pieces
Tumults of delight grew pale, and fainted in the dark
Smashed glasses of expectation were obliterated by a gelid wind of disappointment
infinite waiting in the abyss of dark clouds
Forsaken words might have been turned into dust like grumbles of delusions
Illusive nonsense paved the way for slander and deception
A descent into obliviousness and chaotic envy led to a seclusion of senses
Absent remembrances were clouded with endless sorrow and cruel disdain
Melancholy reflections threw sadness on every delightful bliss
Until nothing could remain but distress
And nevermore would an everlasting longing have been blamed for a twisted utopian idyll.

A Blurred Portrait Of Nightmares
A blurred portrait of nightmares flooded the firmament of tears and anguish
Losing faith once more in an idyllic vanity of nonsense
The nothingness became abruptly overcast with clouds of sorrow
A bizarre stillness held the void
And somber thoughts from ripped pages of an antique manuscript faded away
A fierce storm raged over a meadow stained with solitude and silence
Ghastly lights vanished in the moonbeams
While a mist swept through the total darkness and a frosting wind wandered around a forest of lost beliefs
A hushed midnight shadowed the clouds like nightmares shadowing the unconsciousness
Gleaming and grisly memories of slight dins shattered mirrors
Fearful shapes of darkness faltered through the dusk
A solemn torpor descended on every single night
Tempestuous evenings fell overwhelmed by cold and pale thunders of shameless envy and betrayal
The avarice of mediocrity shattered every beauty and sublimity
Leaving havoc of obscene opportunism concealed by an oppressive victimization
The stars wept uncontrollably for eternities until no subliminal consciousness remained alive
Sorrow and regret could not wait for the unavoidable blame of nonsense
The past might have been forgotten or even tainted
An imperturbable supplice was behind an obscure secrecy
Befallen troubles defeated a reluctant unfairness
Dangerous longings were crammed into the invisible chest of greed
A dark and gloomy despair prevailed like an everlasting flame
A faint glimmering of an unwilling desire would not bear any bold dismal
Distress and melancholy became mysterious intrusions
Every illusion overcame awareness
Each memory dissolved into a blurred portrait
And nightmares vanished in the glimmering darkness
Each feeble hope failed to overshadow grief
Since faint anguish attempted to burden every sparkle of happiness
Shadows of slander descended over opulent gardens of luminaries
Occulting every whisper of the most exquisite beauty and splendor in the universe
Silent was the echo of dismay crowding dismal remembrances
As soon as delusional phantasies appeared in the form of glistens of radiance.

The Labyrinth Of Whims
The labyrinth of whims and unreachable fancies of ceased dreams were locked into the exuberant trap of solitude and silent blandness
No purpose would have been released in obscurity and shadow
When the stormy darkness pervaded the universe of dreams and hopes
Nothing could have been saved but the annoyance whilst tempted by a glare of wisdom
A maze of dark takes and memories was the realm of nightmares
Utter darkness swallowed every gleam and thunder
Silence fell like heavy rain under the gusts of wind
Unfair gloominess surrounded the emptiness
Once every whisper vanished in the empty air far away from every world
Through the dimness, every desire and longing awoke to fall apart
No matter the passionate idyll of dreams and nightmares
Everything would have been broken into an infinity of fragments
Whose invisibility would have dazed the whole universe
In an unfair game of whims and decay
Shattered shards of broken dreams and hopes amidst the void
In a labyrinth of darkness and anguish without any glimmer of hope and resilience
Like in a spell of stillness and despair of an unfair game
Infinite slivers blossomed anew in a desolate space
A daunting maze without any trail of light
In the darkest nights, every garden embraced flaws
With no longer chases of wisdom and might
Pristine fantasies gleaned were deemed and carved with resilience in every fissure
While brokenness was found in beauty
A mosaic of shadows swung in the gloominess
A ghoul of mournful tales lingered in a spectral haze
Where echoes of madness began to craze
Every quill essence whispered despair
And caws echoed through the deserted darkness whose dreary cloud enveloped every universe
The eerie hex shrouded every spectral hue of a haunting lament
An ominous knell of despair held reign
Phantoms of anguish swirled in an atmosphere of sepulchral anguish
Where the silent abyss of sorrow wails met turmoil hisses
Shadows corroded echoes of lost souls in endless time
The labyrinth of whims was a cryptic domain
Made of reflections of grief endlessly waning
Like ephemeral visions in twilight sway
In the winding trail, haunting apparitions wandered
Their ethereal essence shrouded the path in ghostly shades of anguish
Within the misty gloom where these wraiths roamed
A chilling waft lugged sorrowful laments
Resounding echoes of bygone memories steeped in darkness
In this mystical realm of intertwined fates
Each shadow whispered foreboding encounters
Amidst the vast expanse of spectral night.

Darkness And Decay
In the chasms of night, where shadows writhe and obscure the realm of dreams
Darkness reigns supreme, entwined with the essence of decay
It is within this shroud of obsidian gloom that the universe is overwhelmed by an eerie embrace
Where time’s touch wanes and all once resonant fade into the abyss
Amidst this realm of dusk, decay whispers its tales in every crevice and corner as a silent harbinger of life’s ephemeral essence
It lurks in the forgotten remote mysteries, where ancient memories collide with the present
Each passing moment engraves its mark upon the crumbling towers of existence
The cadence of decay resonates through the dusk
A haunting tune echoes in the hollows of time
Shadows prom upon the remnants of what once thrived
Casting an unsettling sway of demise and dissolution
Each glimmer of darkness clasps a tale of its own
Veiling secrets lost to the relentless march of passing days
In the heart of darkness, every decay becomes a creation
A portrait of existences with somber shades and melancholic tones
It weaves intricate tangles of hesitations, where the once flourished desires now succumb to the inevitable promenade of moments
Embracing the snare of glooms and the relentless journey toward the unknown
Amidst the tendrils of decay and shadows, within this twilight realm lies an inexplicable magnificence
Disclosure of the transitoriness as an interplay of darkness and decay
A wistful reminder of ephemeral splendors and unreachable idylls
Fleeting instants before they fade into the obscurity of the eternal night
To nevermore re-emerge once swallowed into the infinite nothingness
Immensity becomes an imperceptible particle of stardust
Every futile intemperance of impalpable dreams slumbers within the enigmatic precipice of the void
Amid the indiscernible whispers of forgotten longings and nebulous desires, the intangible threads of spectral fantasies lose their grip
And the boundaries of reality blur into a mosaic of undefined chances
Like transient voyagers adrift in the boundless sea of the subconscious
The dreams oscillate between semblance and nothingness, lingering on the frail brink of manifestation
Mirrors of remembrances reflect the tantalizing and elusive labyrinths of the unconsciousness
An eerie allure explores the tangled abysm of the unknown
Phantasmagorical fragments dissolve into the arcane emptiness, leaving behind wisps of evanescent longing.
Esther Elizabeth Racah -
A Fearful Doom
A fearful doom dominated all over the obliviousness
Hesitation and fear trapped every instant of hope
Oppression and distress of an airtight fate of forgotten dreams
Hopeless unconsciousness descended over an ocean of nightmares
In a rigid embrace of the blackness of night and an absolute silence
An appalling and intolerable imagination deprived the sense of beauty and longings
The realm of the nethermost nothingness bloomed like a garden of black roses
Mystery of an unknown doom was kept secreted in hidden treasure chests
Senseless visions of a forgotten past in a numberless darkness
Slumbers appeared in worlds of phantasms and reveries
The gloominess overspread the Earth with plumes of horror
The emptiness glared a solitary vision of oppressed dreams
The overshadowing wings hovered above downtrodden delusions
The icy abyss of the infinite surrounded every single hope
Desolate sorrows melted in a bewildered perplexity
The absolute abeyance of infinite distress faded in the perpetual glare of obscurity
Struggles in a world of deafening sounds tore the souls
The Void resounded as an echo of disturbing screams
The chilliness of an endless night arose in the midst of tumultuous phantasies
Idleness prevailed, and an indefinite sense of existence emerged from a torpid uneasiness
An apathetic endurance of anguish and pain disappeared in quiescence
The danger of spectral ideas sunk into dark despair
Agony resounded throughout the ethereal realm of the night
A seal of dizziness was stranded in a dauntless happiness
Every eccentric and august desire became pure magnificence
A creation of an empire of senses and impulses might have fallen in despair
The grief of folly and improvisation overwhelmed every beauty and voluptuousness
Dull and monotonous time ticked with loud sounds
Grotesque boldness was glaring like glitters at the sun
A multitude of dreams writhed in an echo of invisibility
The weird fate of missing fanciful passions hides behind a gloomy revenge for lost memories.
Esther Elizabeth Racah -
Dismal Solitude
Dismal solitude in a cold and misty atmosphere
In a midnight of ghastly lights
Silent sensations of a paralyzing fear
Blind doors to the unknown
Once the future is encapsulated in the past
Longings appeared as sighs of hopeful dreams
Narration of nothingness under the disguise of a show
Vanity and idleness would have been escapism
Shadows of lost memories and imagination
Gloomy rooms with no views under a thatched roof
Hidden stars flaming in a deserted silence
Heaviness overwhelmed like anxiety
In a terrible slumber of the reason
Blind lies were fueled by lamps of deception
Motionless and pallid lights reflected in broken mirrors
A burning madness without any merriment
Endless bitterness of formless shadows
A surreal decay of fragile impermanence
Chaotic unconsciousness drowned in the mystery
Absolutism and silence were defeated in a storm of emphases
An ethereal delight and wisdom hid many transcendental secrets
The radiant luster of a shadow drowned in tears
Hopes and fears were invisible phantoms of chased dreams
Madness crawled into a solitary storm
Mysteries and dust of sorrow spoilt in the dimness of the night
Desolation and decay sparkled over the doomed and aimless wandering
Gloomy and dreary domains of melancholy
Where memories fall into abandonment and anguish
Absurdities and forgotten alienations ghastly resurfaced from unhallowed slumbers
Disquietudes and solemn passions departed from eternal longings
Concealed perceptions of indefinite shadows faded into darkness
A desolate gloom sunk in an iced dreariness
The imagination of shadowy fancies swallowed hopes and dreams
Oppressive clouds hung in a dark and dull evening sky
Dreariness and melancholy pervaded the gloom of the night
The iciness of thoughts and hideous imagination were invading the contemplation
No sublimity was left in the insoluble mysteries
Ghastly shadows annihilated sorrowful impressions
Decayed dreams and mystic leaves of black rose flowers became sorrow and stern
Pervading everything and making gloomy every solace of minds
An oppressive stupor disappeared in the midst of dread
An apathy of senses faded in the darkness
Phantasmagoric lusters of lost longings fled to reveries and shadows
Mystic fantasias sporadically emerged in the thoughts’ dominion
The delight of silent destinies was agitated by oppressive secrets
Sparkling pearls of wisdom and fantastic impressions pervaded the intense darkness
The beauty and nightmare of a tempestuous and gloomy night faded in the infinite darkness
And the fearless irreverence of obliviousness swallowed every hope and dream
Leaving a ghastly emptiness in the endless chaos of the universe.
Esther Elizabeth Racah -
Ghost Lights
Ghost lights were surrounded by the void of a dark night
Whenever the stars refused to devote themselves to a dream of bliss
Nothing could be heard or seen
Leaving the souls navigating in the dimness of the infinite ocean
Attractive puzzles lure invisible spells of overcast desires
Paradoxical hopes and wishes will never be born
Silence sovereigns the empirical realm of inventions and hypothesizes
A beautiful madness and charming delight were oblivious of every decline and destruction
Clouds of fragility cast their doubts over the unknowledge
Introspective and scornful stillness drowned the worlds of ideals
Nightmares were lighting candles in the shapes of ghosts and spirits
Drops of indifference created an immense ocean of devastation
All the celestial entities were tragically gloomy
Contradictions and sorrow kept their treasure chests underneath the time
Perpetual expectancies of wonders and appealing charms
Flickering ghost lights that might never been lit
In the imaginary quest for a timeless dream
Where an ethereal infinity of waves of shadows and echoed dismay burnt in the fire
Futility flashed in the mocking mirrors
The obscure soul of the world became darkness
Shining brightness over a faint hue of shame and greed
Passions hid from every sight
Like secrets silently lying stony in the dark corners of hearts
The imperturbability of sunbeams vanished in the ineluctable and diaphane nothingness
A wind of decay and beauty
Madness in a maze of darkness
Gold lights from burnished caldrons
Flames and orange blossoms among the fog of shattered glass
At the edge of the sea, in an obstinate and noisy gloominess
Wild aether of brightness sunk slowly beneath a cold tower of anguish
Whilst the blue dusk held the nightfall tight to its ineluctable embrace
The darkness indulged in a silvered silent doom
A pale storm of scribbled words shone in the darkness
Black clouds and thunderstorms stretched across the evening skies
Realms of illusion and farce
Where quiet ships navigated through the gelid light
Violet strings hastened in the night sky under the moonlight
A poisonous wind lifted grey metal waves
Leaving dreadful mirrors on a garden of desolation
Troubled vain of a faint destiny
Idle flowers with lazy petals and floating leaves
An abode of bliss mysteriously faded away
A wandering and quiet dusk forgot to rest in oblivion
Realms of deceased scrawls bore grief and sorrow
Fountains of gaiety and life stood behind absurd dreams that gleamed in delight
The leaden essence of the night fled over the heights of darkness
Vaults of incomprehension and quarrels simply showy and ridiculous
No one could have declared the veridicality of the life show
Where realities were like ghost lights in a nightmare of obscenities
A doom for sensibilities but nevertheless updated to nowhere
Changes of a vulnerable fate might have declared a confutable blame
Senses and reasons did not have a chance to be unblemished.
Esther Elizabeth Racah -
Blooming Blazes
Blooming blazes rose in the depths of darkness
A spark ignited a flicker of longing
A beacon of light was created from the ashes of doubt
Timid embers burst into flames
Overwhelming fear and swallowing all chagrinOddities and burdens let the glow rise and bloom
A magnificent spectacle lost resilience
And desertion became a crimson glimmer
Embracing transforming into a flower made of fire and stone
Whilst a wild desire transfigured into a zephyr of resplendenceWith each transitory gust of wind
Shining dreams soared to the azure sky
Untamed blooming blazes flared as wondrous gleams
Dark auburn leaves fell on an autumn day
Burgundy roses kept their secret beautyFuture memories would not be erased yet
In the certitude of the suspicion and deafening foulness
Whilst the ordinary tackiness suppressed every trace of wisdom
Like in a sumptuous residence with decadent walls
Where the gloominess resided perpetuallyNothingness shattered every speck of integrity
In the obliviousness of the dearth of wisdom and sensibility
As if the ocean waves would have ceased their motion eternally
The nonsense became a revered ruler in the blatant monologue of ignorance
Platitude and sarcasm welcomed every disgraceful beliefA scorned doom swallowed every forsaken liberty
Since reality and illusion never belonged to simultaneous fragments of time
Always neglected and never beloved was the truth
A realm cloaked by shadow and darkness
Like a concealed treasure only visible to a spare universe of daydreamsSilence and unfairness prevailed as certitude was cast away
Hurling wonderments in the depths of despair and adversity
A glimmer of defiance would bear a flame of hope and resilience
In a garden of fire and under the stars’ warm gaze
Fiery sways and blazes bloomed as glowing embersBurning torches of gold reached for the sky
A disquieting view of flares gleaming in the faded twilight
In the stillness of the night, flames turned to cinders
And everything faintly faded away
Amidst the dusk mist of secrets and talesIn a maze of shadows and solitude
Wild roses blossomed and flared up like garnet sorrow
Time unceasingly seized the silent departure of an elusive and fleeting void of a long night
A fragile fate contemplated the shimmering lights of remote stars
Beneath a dark and deep velvet sky prospering as a cosmic delightA timeless mystery of existential sadness sought the light within the darkest dimness
A realm of fear and fleeting rays where no dream was allowed to exist
Nevermore a hope or a bliss might have been freed from the doom of the infinity
Dark and fiery clouds escorted every luminary
For innocence and integrity were forbidden every time a desire for iniquity and greed manifestedOnce again, the serendipity went blind and deaf because of the noisy and sparkling avarice
Making room for showy phantoms of illusions and loathing
Ignorance could feast commendably with lust and exploitation
Unfair insanity was questioning the truth, being coveted by phoney love
Whilst the darkness was attending the show with its mute whispers and laughsPrinciples of probity were obliterated into blooming blazes
In the instants of torpors and madness
A consequence of irreverence and deceptive pledges
Lonely and isolated longings became part of a forgotten realm
Where the past and future were melted into a unique entityIn the domain of doubts and unrevealed mysteries
Nonsense and scepticism unfolded the paradox of certainties
Whimsical suspicion of a defying reason challenged every belief
Contradiction and logic were in an endless chase of a multifaceted truth
Unworthiness became popular and excellentBeing existence an erratic show of pretence and mendacity
In a world of guile and deceit, a stage of masks and facades often surged
A play of unconcealed flamboyancy and luxury like transient blazes
Whenever truths were veiled, and lies were sold
While mendacity hid in the shadows of deceptionAn endless chase of betrayal and misleading pretences created an intricate web of deceits
An inauthentic masquerade glimmered through the night
Obliterating several premonitions amid a grand charade
In a sequence of detached ideas and beliefs
Beneath a firmament made of a hologram of luminariesBlooming humbugs of wonders and awe
Roadmaps of destiny and frail fates
Like delicate threads woven through time
When dreams were shattered and hopes departed
In the beauty of the night, luminaries held swayIn slumbering realms, ethereal fantasies were guiding lanterns in the sea
Shadows glowed through forests of enchantment and valleys of desire
Whispers found solace in the dusk
As stars sprinkled stardust in their silent flight
And the aethers whispered secret illusionsFleeting moments of inner worlds faded like divine glimpses
Their shining surreal delusions became a vision in the gloaming
Dazing the mesmerising darkness with blazes
A cold purple moon blinked on the gloomy clouds
As a mockery of the beauty of the lost and empty timeClaustrophobic solitude crumbled like pebbles in the rain
Everything went lost and to be recovered nevermore
Hopes and dreams were the only chimaeras to stun and appease the infatuated believers
Ghostly remembrances were sweet like poison
Ready to hypnotise and release every deceased enthusiasmA sudden and unexpected temperance seemed to be deceived
A melancholic obviousness melted terribly under the daylight of the consciousness
Everything was impossible and immutable
In such a way, fate has been determined in an unavoidable way
A cruel and spasmodic reality created unrealistic wickednessWisdom for a while and insanity for eternity
A mere dim light of nonsense without a change and words
A loathed and beloved past that became an unintelligible future
Forgotten thoughts were blooming like scintillating blazes
In a realm of disguised virtues and fragments of perpetually concealed truthA silent storm of memories and torments deceived the night
The destruction of fears and suspicions preserved the allusive state of intrusive and pretended reality
Which was to be diffused and nevermore disclaimed like a giant oak tree in flame
So often claimed certitudes mistrusted dreams and visions
While gardens of crystal flowers grew under the shadows of intemperance.The metaphysical universe was destroyed, and the nothingness became eternity.
The reminiscence world sunk to the depths of obliteration.
