Soul Shadows book cover
Soul Shadows

Genre: Poetry

Sample Poem: The Vastness

Infinite, glimmering passions of majestic hue,
Blossoming birth, mysterious entities of the night
Engulfing fires of burning flesh, sweet embers-
The taste fulfilling all need in a golden moment,
Yet starting all over again in beautiful antithesis.

Is this how the universe works?
An expanding, flowing heart
Filling every vein, breathing in the delicate life
Only to lose it all once more,
Falling backwards into impenetrable darkness.
Nothing.

I sleep, and the soul takes over,
A vestige of unnamed shadows,
Smothering all in the warm, gentle dark-
Soft, tender touches, my aching body
Captures an incredible, startling feeling:
An inner joy so profound it numbs all sense.

Yet merely a glimpse
Of something greater,
Indefinable, but touched upon
Beauty.

I marvel at this world I live in.
Every whispered, melting caress.
Kiss me lovingly.
Take me in your arms.
I can only wish for my worthiness.
