I. Threads of the Unseen

We are the weavers of half-lit hours,

fingers stained with ink and borrowed light,

pulling constellations from coffee cups,

stitching sonnets to the ribs of night.

Our quills are splintered bones of old regrets,

dipping into wounds that never close—

each comma a breath, each period a grave,

where buried dreams hum in chromatic prose.

II. The Loom’s Lament

The loom groans, heavy with unspooled skies,

its warp the ache of love’s unfinished rhyme,

its weft the smoke of cities we once burned

to write our names in ash, one last time.

We pluck metaphors from cracked sidewalk veins,

let similes drip like rain on tin roofs,

turn the mundane—a rusted key, a moth’s wing—

into hymns for the lost, the wild, the truth.

III. The Alchemy of Ruin

Watch us spin shadows into gilded thread,

knead silence till it yields a deafening roar,

carve elegy from the rot of fallen leaves,

paint forgiveness on a stranger’s door.

We are the architects of phantom cities,

building bridges between pulse and page,

where every scar is a stanza’s compass,

and every cry inks a pilgrimage.

IV. The Tapestry Unfurled

Read us by the flicker of dying streetlamps,

trace the braille of our blood-rush rhymes,

hear the hurricane in our hyphenated pauses,

the earthquake in our orphaned lines.

For we are the keepers of unwritten epics,

the menders of time’s unraveled seams—

our poems, not mere words, but living fossils,

breathing long after we’ve fled the dream.

Final Stanza (The Echo)

So when the loom stills and the stars grow cold,

when our bones are dust and our ink runs thin,

look closely: the night will hum our verses,

and the wind will wear our skin.
