sad poetry
The cathartic nature of poetry makes it one of the best outlets to channel feelings of sadness, emotional turmoil, grief and despair.

Whispers of Illusion
I am an illusion, Like a shadow walking beside you, Yet I’m never really there. You’ve tried to understand me, but not completely, You’ve seen me in the mist of the moon, But in the bright light of the sun, You failed to see my true form. Are your eyes caught in a magical web? Do you know what it means to be lost in a trance? I am a riddle, Fading into dreams like smoke, Yet trapped in the bubble of reality. A mystical game, An invisible force you can’t touch. You search for me in the darkness of night, Under faint stars, where shadows aren’t just shadows. But in the sunlight, I disappear, You can’t see me at all. I’m close to you, yet far away, Always an illusion, A silent hidden shadow, Existing only in the world of your imagination.

scratches in my mind - streams of dreams and anxieties
when thoughts flow upstream as dreams, we try to catch; hold worries flow downstream * Thanks for reading! Author's Notes: Here is another entry into my long-running senryu series "scratches in my mind". I really should do a pillar post thing for it so I can gather them all together.
