In an evanescent realm of fantasy and dreams,
Chaos and tumult reigned,
While reality’s tether surrendered to the imagination power.
Echoes of fancies and delusions, wild and untamed,
In the labyrinth of the subconscious, they were the rulers.
Reflections of madness swirled unseen,
In the jumbled weave, illusions convened.
Shadows and spectres, fleeting and fleet,
In that ephemeral realm, they did meet.
Beneath the stars’ ethereal glow,
Secret gardens whispered enigmas from long ago.
Visions spun like threads of silk,
Weaving tales of joy and ilk.
Within the maelstrom of the night,
Shadows danced in flickering lights.
Ghosts wandered, lost yet free,
In realms of boundless darkness.
Through the mazes of time, they glided,
Where past and future intertwined and collided.
Memories faded, future ideas gleamed,
In the kaleidoscope of hallucinations.
When the hush of twilight embraced the skies,
A fanciful forgetfulness lingered like a soft and sweet bubble.
In the tranquil fate of dawn’s gentle bliss,
The dimness of enchantments remained in a dark abyss.
Amidst the clouds of nightmares and dreams,
A poem of creation sparkled like an eternal flame.
Through the veils of uncertainty, everything vanished,
In the endless and infinite world of sadness and despair.
Phantoms and phantasmagorias haunted the eerie silence,
A space of nothingness and obliteration.
A sordid tale of woe and anguish dared the fear,
Once, the deluge of delights was shattered like crystal gems.

In An Evanescent Realm

Echoes In The Rain
Echoes in the rain embraced the cold shadows,
While flickering flames of anguish cast an eerie glow,
Loneliness was wandering beneath the weeping skies.Memories were obscure fog howling in the wind,
Regrets, like ghosts, whispered from the past,
Time, the predator, hunted with silent dread.Each second lost a tear in the storm,
Rain tapped mournfully on broken mirrors,
Wet earth exhaled the scent of sorrow’s bloom.An old clock shattered, ticking loss and pain,
Amidst the gloom of abandoned chambers,
A wilted rose became a symbol of decay.Empty gardens hosted screams used to roam,
Autumn leaves fell, leading desires astray,
In silence, a cry lingered, unanswered by the skies.As night devoured the remnants of the day,
Fleeting instants of light became shadows,
Casting a fearful glance into the chill winter breeze.A day ended, and sorrow’s grip held fast,
On endless nights, devoided of hope or peace,
The dawn, unseen, lay hidden by the veil of darkness.The infinite darkness was thick as the nightmares in endless nights,
Leaving only specks of despair in its realm.
The void devoured every glimmer of light and hope.

Shadows And Radiance
Shadows and radiance overflowed the realm of darkness and light,
Leaving a trail of glimmers and glooms,
Faltering in the abyss of the night and dawn.Sugarcoated lies and betrayal covered the walls of phoney castles,
Along the river of banality, a sense of homology hypnotised thoughts and dreams,
Crushing to dust every glow of uniqueness.Anger entwined like ivy tendrils over the empire of isolation,
Where echoes of forsaken screams of dismay lingered in silent chambers,
Whispering the secrets of unrevealed dreams.Beneath the silver of mirrored illusions,
Reflections of fractured longings shimmered,
Trapped in the web of introspection and solipsism.Hope flickered in the shadows like a fragile beacon of radiance,
Traversing the labyrinth of despair,
Seeking the dawn of pristine horizons.Through the veil of twilight’s embrace,
A twist of light and darkness remained undisclosed,
Weaving a fate with threads of paradox.In the heart of the oblivious universe,
A sparkle of flame enlightened the quiet void,
Kindling sighs of metamorphosis.A silent awakening bore witness to beauty and sublimity,
Luminaries merged in a harmonious shine,
Creating new chimaeras from the ruins of solitude and desolation.Remnants of greed and turpitude unveiled a majestic realm of anguish,
Whose ethereal boundaries faded away at the sight of everlasting light,
When the dawn embraced the night in a perpetual fusion of shadows and radiance.In the realm where shadows and radiance ruled,
Shimmers and glooms blended into the dusk,
Ghosting through the mist like fragments of dreams.The night unveiled its enigmatic allure,
Through phantasmagoric utopias and mystical worlds of secluded mysteries,
Where vestiges of remote legends lingered in the aether.Nightmares of a deep darkness ensnared every free imagination,
Twisting, suffocating, in shadows they wrought,
Evoking a hymn that transcended into an eternal labyrinth of dreams and ethereal manifestations.

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 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.

Gleams And Shadows
Gleams and shadows are shut in the twilight
The sweet echo of the evening strikes the trees
And the rain descends upon the deserted valleys
In such silence and doom, I forget my own name
Making amends for my forsaken life
Full of ghosts and shady sights
Doubting it could be true and real, all I dreamed in the long nights
Swallowing my dreams with rage and tears
Buried under the soil of my heart
In the distress of my apathetic mind
Full of empty thoughts and hopesGleams and shadows of my delusional soul
In an effort to displease and reject all those horrible lies and betrayals
Shallow illusions fall down on my head like heavy glowing crystals
Waiting for the wind to strike the greenish grass
In an upside-down realm of showy paper characters
I wonder if I might rely on my perceptions or if it is just a nightmare ghoul
An ostentatious parade disappears from my memories
Fainting on my paper scraps inside a dreadful hut
Loyal to my beliefs and elusive prospects
In the dim of spilt leaves, chandeliers defy the autumn wind
Carrying piles of happiness and trustGleams and shadows through the storm
Through the chilly and misty morn
Have moved my grief and woe
To the tide where the lightning meets the furious thunder
Vanishing in a dark distant thought
Nevermore to become a fragile leaf under the influence of turbulent winds
A realisation of lost instants and flames
As part of the turmoil of mischief and complacency
Ideas become certitude, and blame is made of inconsistency
A silent gloom defeats the depths of the winter
In the dark shadows of a suffering dream.

I Forgot How To Smile
I forgot how to smile
In this world of pain and disguise
Masks and phantoms are all around
Barely pretending to unleash the truth
When mirrors reflect sparkling golden and silver bondsI forgot how to be free
Not falling into beautified traps with magnificent ceilings
Listening to the real sound of the wind
Whenever I breathe the fresh air of solitude
Dizzy and bewildered in a maze of deception and pitfallsI forgot how to fly
And cover my eyes with the leaves of souvenirs
Forgetting my name and the soil where I walk on
Nonsense should be my wisdom
Until I recognise the beauty of invisibilityClaustrophobic fears deceive me
Erasing all the strength I own
Striving to filter the misery in the lake where I drown
Silently closing my eyes so that I don’t cry anymore
Choking in a narrow way where I forgot how to screamIn the ethereal, unending, and eternal quest
I seclude myself in the abyss of silence and invisibility
Unconscious and reckless like a crystal in the deepness of the sea
No shadows or mirrors are my acquaintances
With no difference between the day and nightI forgot how to forget
Whilst fleeting the shallow castles of idiocy and phenomenon
Waiting for the paper cards to fold and burn in the fire of fairness
Once more and forever ignoring the ominous dread of depravity
Standing like a small leaf falling on the cold soil of the oblivionI might have forgotten the slumber of my joyful days
When I lived in the unconsciousness of my thoughts
Confident that my soul would be delighted forever in the dimness of the betrayal
Believing that the toxic clasp of doom would have enlightened my life
Having become captive to a terrible spectreI forgot how to smile with a blank mind and closed eyes
I might have been able to travel far away
Once and for all, in the idiosyncratic of my imagination
Deluding myself in glares and wonders
When after all, I dwell in a dark hollow, I claim to be my fortress.

Dark Nightmares
Dark nightmares of morning glow
They were rising like a gentle breeze
Like heavy clouds begun to wander
Across the infinite horizon of my sight
The pleasant summer nights faded from my memories
Till the moon came gently down and my eyes gazed a far candle
In a dark chamber of grey stones
Remembering the sunny weather of the past years
I never ceased to build my castle
Writing down broken notesDark nightmares
As all the visions from a distant past are gone
And now my nightmares are glued with pains
When memories become dark, the whole world disappears
Cold dreams are like the frosty winter wind
In time I must flee, and my voice becomes true
As long as I’m alive and anguish pricks my heart
I live in a dim silence
A lotus grazes my imagination
Still lost within myselfDark nightmares of my senses’ slumber
The long loneliness of my heart
Moments lost in the world
Like shadows of a dream
Not a breath in my own mind
Thoughts belonging to the labyrinth of my soul
Far in the mist
Lying deep inside of myself
My wishes do bother me
Every time I glimpse the pain in my heartDark nightmares drag me to the infinite abyss of despair
So dismal and cold is my soul that it became dead
I’ve grown so restless in sorrow
While nothing in my life occurs but silent dreams
The sky is only a cold essence
And I am forever lonely
I walked through the darkness with a blue wind hitting me
Like tiny daggers slashing my skin
When a hasty storm broke the clouds into dust
Hushed by a mournful silence, I embraced my everlasting grief.Dark nightmares and illusions
They came and shed darkness
While each memory bent my emotions
A swarthy shudder whispered unrevealed secrets
A sea of fire emerged at the sound of my tears
Madness and dismay became my consolation and comfort
Fleeing from an insane lodging
In a fleeting moment where fragments of my soul were scattered in the cold gusts of indifference
Buying busy weeping my broken dreams
When the shadows of the clouds cast a spell on me.

Shadows Of Memories
Shadows of memories
They are made and forgotten
There is a thought I lost time ago
Who cares about the time?
I am walking alone on the way to my intentions
Things do seem fine and picturesque
A lifetime was then lost
The world wants to regress
Life would be extraordinary without vanityShadows of memories unfold
Like purple-tainted screams
While the eyes are still flying
Behind the illusion to exist
Just as I once had said
The presence is no longer desirable
If my true vision could see
The sea seemed to be in bloom
A new life comes once moreShadows of memories
While the world is lost on Earth
Being destined to doom
A unique moment comes when old mysteries are learned
And an hour becomes too long
Time is the beauty of a life’s mission
In my mind dwells a calm night shadow
Dressing in love’s desireShadows of memories are lost
Time keeps ticking pleasantly
Instant grief is left forgotten in the abyss of oblivion
I am sleepless, and I feel unseen
Only a dream and sorrow are discovered in my treasure chest
Since the same frolic is always played
It is rare to be happy to care when life is quite sad
And respect and love will only thrive on being authentic
In ways far gone, trust should never have been destroyedShadows of memories remain
No life should be taken for granted
Dreams and thoughts wander together
Spring came into my space
My slumber is a place of joy and regret
A mirage of infinity
The stars of memories are fading high
The soul is nothing but a breath and an illusion
In the sunshine and rain, the happiness is all goneShadows of memories in my mind
Trying to live till they start to fade
I write a lot of words that I want to release
But nothing was forgotten in my senses
When I found out my heart
Home is in the sky
Occasionally, roses play with stars
Everything is peaceful
Waiting for whatever might happen tomorrow.
