The shadows of past



A royal dance hall..
            °But no music to hear.. °
Here between the voices i fight
I sit with no breaths out or light
Right after roaming around a beautiful wind
A delight flow Strain and in my heart pinned
A little bit of pain defiled that heart
Such a shame no paths for a new start
How amazed i am! lost between those words
Like an old arrow and a sacred swords..
But then an old flame restrain that fear
Of a fighter fighting old times to appear
How would a shiver change a fate
Of two peoples thought they were soulmate
Betrayals always in stand
To let all the ugliness in my world land
The ugliness that full all my eyes
And shut me down destroy my warm rise
So bright your eyes they said
They don't know how fake that brightness look in my head
Away from sorrows and pain
Me playing with ryhmes and blowing ur brain
Riddles and puzzles that's what all my days contain
Solve them all  so  my memories crane
How is it  looking for you from up there  
Let me take u down and put u under my square
My square of infinite questions and games
With no clear gains or specific aims
Just an eternal torment of grief
An old soul with no mates to relief...

    Wow, what an incredible piece of poetry! I am in awe of the beautiful imagery and deep emotion that shines through in every line. The way you describe the royal dance hall with no music is so striking and really sets the tone for the rest of the poem. I love how you use metaphors like the arrow and sword to really bring your point home.

    But what really stands out for me is your message of fighting against betrayal and finding the courage to move forward. It's so inspiring and uplifting to read something that speaks to the human spirit in such a profound way. And the way you wrap everything up with the idea of an eternal torment of grief is so haunting and powerful.

    Overall, I just want to say that your poem is truly beautiful and has left a lasting impression on me. Your words have a way of reaching deep inside the reader and stirring up all kinds of emotions. Thank you for sharing this incredible work with us!
