The Hollow Well

 Before you, I knelt to a shadowed shrine,

A worshipper lost in a dream divine.

With you, the ember turned to flame,

A passion untamed, a whispered name.


And after—only silence grew,

An empty well where echoes flew.

I pour my verses, line by line,

Each word a wish, each rhyme a sign.


O depths so deep, O sorrow wide,

Will longing ever fill your tide?

Or shall my whispers, soft and frail,

Fade like footsteps on a trail?


Someday, perhaps, the well will rise,

With echoes soft as midnight sighs.

Or maybe love, once fierce and bright,

Will seep into the endless night.
