  • In The Abyss Of My Thoughts

    In The Abyss Of My Thoughts

    In the abyss of my thoughts
    I felt the shadows of my dark memories
    All over my dreams like hunting ghosts
    Feeding my fears with their perfidy

    I felt the chills of my terrible past
    Breaking my heart into a myriad of disillusions
    I begged my broken mirrors not to bring to life those remembrances
    Crowding my nightmares in desolate nights of anguish

    Everything now seems so different and irreversible
    My cries are full of tears of liberation
    Even though I cannot escape from the labyrinth of my mind
    It feels like my soul aches has become my radiance

    My nightmares came to be my companions
    I’m unbound from my ancestral ropes
    Nevertheless
    My soul is overwhelmed with a cloudy trepidation

    I strive to endure all those ghouls
    Surrounding me like unexpected ancestors
    Whenever they visit me by day and night
    Covering my fragile voice with their scary howls

    In vain, I begged them to definitely vanish
    But they came back over and over again
    Nothing could prevent them from visiting me
    And I struggle to welcome them as welcome guests

    In the abyss of my thoughts
    I rely on my hopes to linger like a lost butterfly
    While every storm tries to bring me back to the castle of blight
    Committed to the solemn oath of silence and forgetfulness

    In vain, I implored all the stars of the night sky to find a haven
    Not even the immense ocean waves were willing to listen to my concerns
    Whenever my heart aches, it echoes all over the universe
    Loneliness evolved into my only safe island of peace

    I wished I could continue to live inside my sparkling cloud of illusions
    I desired to be the princess of my dream kingdom
    However, there I lingered
    In the abyss of my thoughts.

  • Static Metamorphosis

    Static Metamorphosis

    Static Metamorphosis
    by Esther Elizabeth Racah

    Static metamorphosis bloomed in a night of apathy,
    Lugubrious thoughts knocked on the door of the imagination,
    In nightmares and dreams, the sound of anguish tasted bitter like poison,
    Death always waited, a loyal follower of those who dared to wander the infinite darkness.

    Absurdities became the fabric of an invisible realm,
    Where logic faltered and crumbled into dust,
    A forgotten world on the edge of existence,
    Drowning beneath waves of incoherence.

    Shadows twisted and intertwined,
    Carved hollow paths through the abyss,
    Led to nowhere, yet everywhere at once,
    As if time itself had untangled,
    A delicate thread snapped in the winds of fate.

    Familiar faces faded into the void,
    Distorted echoes of what they once were,
    Now mere spectres, hollow shells,
    Lost in the labyrinth of a broken mind.

    In that eerie stillness,
    The heart of despair beat softly,
    Rhythms of sorrow pulsed through the veins,
    A macabre dance with unseen forces,
    Invisible hands pulled strings in the puppet show of life.

    Static metamorphosis spread like a silent plague,
    Consuming every thought, every flicker of hope,
    Turning moments into fragments,
    Scattered like ashes in a windless sky.

    Each breath felt heavy, burdened with the weight of inevitability,
    As moments slipped like sand through outstretched fingers,
    Fleeting, intangible, impossible to grasp.

    The walls of the mind closed in,
    A prison built from fragments of shattered hopes,
    Each brick was a memory,
    Each corner was darkened by fear.

    Amidst the decay,
    A trace of something hollow remained,
    A distant light, dim and fading,
    Barely there but clinging,
    A futile thread in a world resigned to despair.

    Static metamorphosis claimed the dreams,
    Wrapped it in layers of uncertainty and doubt,
    Tore at the edges of reality,
    Transforming it into a place of neither light nor shadow,
    Suspended in the void of oblivion.

    The dreams grappled with this silent force,
    Torn between the pull of oblivion and the glimpse of survival,
    Clawed at the fabric of its own existence,
    Strained to break free from the suffocating stillness.

    But the metamorphosis had already taken root,
    A relentless transformation within,
    One that neither light nor dark could fully claim,
    A state of perpetual becoming,
    Suspended between the realms of being and nothingness.

    In the end,
    As the final veil of darkness descended,
    The metamorphosis remained incomplete,
    An eternal process frozen in time,
    A silent monument to the fragile nature of existence.

    Static metamorphosis lingered eternally,
    Gloomy clouds in the labyrinth of expectations,
    A reminder that once change begins,
    It could never indeed be undone.
