You are in me,
flickering at the core of silence,
a hidden flame that breathes
through the hollow of my being.
...
Behind iron bars, the nightingale still sings
Its anthem of freedom—unbroken.
The cruelest world cannot smother
The dawn blazing bright in its heart!
...
I was once a lion
of unseen wilds—
my roar, a clap of thunder;
my gaze, a lightning strike.
...
To my heart, the bird's song comes—
Whispered tales of an ancient king,
Not bound to earth, but robed in eternal sky,
Where time unwinds
...
My love, your words
Draw radiant rivers beyond time,
Flowing through sleeping valleys,
Through forests where shadow weeps—
...
Do not speak of me as gone.
I was never a fragment to be lost,
but the unbroken whole beneath all form—
the light without a wick,
...
Remember this truth:
You were not born to fade
like mist at dawn,
nor to vanish into shadows.
...
You are not the seen,
nor the hidden.
You are the breath beneath all veils,
the light within shadowed hearts.
...
The ancient decree dissolves—
not in chains,
but in sacred surrender.
I am no longer wild,
...
She awakens where midnight breathes on dew,
soft radiance swirling through dusk's purple hue.
To some, a peril—her fragrant art,
yet she glimmers, unbowed, at sorrow's start.
