Mater Umbrarum Poems

Once upon a time
In a land distant to all
Lived a young enchantress whose beauty chimed
And a kind prince whose virtue stood tall
...

Yet, the foul sorcerer forgot
That no matter the harshness of reality
True love has forever fought
For its own right to actuality
...

Tenderly, their arms wrapped remained
Until a soft whisper from the Enchantress was heard:
"My dearest Prince, Lady Death from taking your life has refrained;
How come you escaped your Fate as another one in her herd? "
...

With trembling fingers, the Enchantress reached
To hold the Prince's tearful expression
Cupping his face like a fortress besieged
Her voice ringing with a melancholic intonation:
...

Once again, once upon a time
There lived a builder of many a mask
Most intricate and serpentine
The most beautiful one could ever ask
...

Isn't it truly a revelry?
That we all get to live
In such a state that, to be
Is to possess a gift ready to give?
...

There is a single secret that hides in plain sight
A mystery that flies above our heads just like a kite
Ever following and always lingering in the shade
Of all we are, ever since we've been made
...

If existence is to be seen
I lay dormant in absence of one
Collapse me and twist me like a figurine
What you wish I'd be, I'll never become
...
