Romeo Della Valle (Ageless / Dominican Republic)
A Concealed Soul
Concealed by a shadow behind the windows,
Overlooking the gateway of no return,
The neighborhood is suspicious
Of the elfish silhouette against the glass
Of an unlit room where I reconcile
My most precious thoughts...
My thoughts have no cause
For great concerns
Because If I had to,
I would gladly explain
That I would indefinitely remain,
In this cozy room
Where my future is being designed...
Sighted, obviously reported-a threat!
I retreat behind my computer's desk,
Deeper into the closed space
Where I listen tentatively,
Motionless, for the door to rip...
Open hinges with familiar complaints,
Bracing me for opposition,
While I completely quiet I remain
And letting them look like fools...

Romeo, this is sublime, I can close my eyes and feel the flow of emotions, silent and loud, both at the same time, it almost brings me into the state of time travel. Thank you so much! Love and Light! Divine Blessings. And Thank you! :)
Romeo, loved that line overlooking the gateway of no return, . this poem gets a 10 in my book
almost a mysterious and taut moment is painted in these lines.
dramatic meaningful and the catharsis is on an unexpected level..

Powerful! Thoughts are always a cause for concern. Depends how they are directed, like yours in the best of directions.
