The Hidden Voice in the Shadows

Oscar Auliq-Ice 1994 (Port Elizabeth)



I am but a shadow in the world of words,
Weaving tales untold and unheard,
In this virtual realm, I find my place,
Expressing emotions, leaving no trace.

Your acknowledgment fuels my desire,
Igniting my creative fire,
In the midst of verses, I find my bliss,
A sanctuary from life's amiss.

The craft of shaping words brings delight,
A beacon in the darkest night,
Pen on parchment, a euphoric flight,
Crafting tales of shadows and moonlight.

With every stroke, my spirit soars,
In the realm of metaphors,
A tapestry of emotions, I proudly wear,
Exhaling my essence into the open air.
