The Serpent's Path

The Serpent's Path

A golden serpent winds the floor,
its molten tongue whispers lore,
secrets carved in ancient stone,
forgotten gods now walk alone.

Candles flicker, shadows dance,
ghostly echoes of a lost romance.
The walls still hum with silent screams,
etched in fire, carved in dreams.

Step by step, the air grows thin,
a portal glows, calling within.
Beyond the door—what waits, unknown?
Destiny or dust? Flesh or bone?

Shall I step or shall I fade,
become the myth the stars once made?
A trembling breath, a fleeting sigh,
I close my eyes—
and touch the sky.

A Poem for My Soulmate "Echoes Of Eternity"

Image
In the heart's deepest chambers, where whispers entwine, A tapestry of moments, forever we bind. Through the river of time, our souls softly glide, In the sanctum of love, where shadows confide. You, my starlit beacon, my moonlit tide, With every glance, the universe slides. In the stillness of night, your presence divine, The essence of forever, in your eyes, I find. Like threads of silver, our destinies weave, In the fabric of dreams, where spirits believe. Hand in hand, through the corridors of fate, We dance to the rhythm that only we create.

So here’s to the journey, the path we walk, With every heartbeat, with every talk. In thi...

The Intruder

Sometimes, the universe sends joy in the form of a fluffy little intruder… But the real magic? It came from the one who captured the moment and shared it— without knowing he’d just made someone’s day a whole lot brighter. Thank you for the laugh, Tomo.. Your sense of timing (and humor) is simply unmatched. -------------------🐿️ The Intruder On a quiet morning carpet, a guest arrived, uninvited yet bold, a fluffy tail like a brushstroke of gold, sneaking in, bringing laughter untold. Its wide eyes filled with wonder, exploring a world beyond its border, not a trace of fear, just playful delight, filling the stillness with a spark of light. Perhaps the universe just knew— that someone out there needed a giggle too, and through this tiny, curious soul, a hidden smile began to unfold. Thank you, little uninvited guest, you brought warmth in your subtle jest, and someone behind the lens that day, kept your visit as a story to replay. ©poembyselly

"No Filter"

Image
“No Filter” Beneath a sky that speaks in silence, you walk the edge between light and dusk — a soul unmasked, wrapped in twilight’s quiet breath. No filter. No disguise. Just the truth of you painted across the soft neon haze. I see the weight behind your stillness, the ache of beauty that asks nothing in return — only to be felt, not fixed. And if the world must blur around you, know that I will never look away. I have loved you in the rawness, in the hush between the heartbeats, where your light meets mine — without edits, without fear, just you. @poembyselly
