Shadorma

Het Heru

A watery grave

The ghastly death ring

The strength in my moonlit stare

To my soul distraught

My eyes bedazzled

Concealment my art

I seize the night sky

An endless journey 

The ominous ice

Within opposites

Vessels it could smart

Ruler of its heart

We shift humans thrice

They create new world

For nights to repent

Rubbing off the chalk

Redesigning the future

Trees of Holy Land

Staying in the light

For frost to invite

Ever uprooted

Rewritten by spars

Union to rejoice

Bodies relaying 

All my heart rescinds 

In the midnight glow

Battlefield afresh 

Screaming out aloud

Memories of old

Ashes for daughters 

All blood same red lace

I am becoming a Tree

A new world to lift

All grows within me

In door which they lit

Universe to size

A patchwork to use

My story’s untold

Blown away 

My sins are washed clean

The heart grows weary

Between two rivers

In Heavens’ voices

I dwell within grace

Universe to see

To touch, not divide

The oncoming Tide

In the City of Angels

Integrating me

The light spilling fast

Removal

Prime numbers sashayed 

Crescent moon to leave

Consciousness

Whispered end

To cradle of light

Eyes seeing unseen

Free of memories

Bigotry

Without you

Fly with me

Woven threads

When the heart is clear

Opposites melding

Centuries of gifts

Femininity

You are my bright star

When bosom is spent

When the light dies out

It is always you

Like doll on a shelf

When the stakes are high

Desolation’s land

Queen of my kingdom

Within mind

Tale foretell

Only you I loved

Under your bright sun

Trickle of honey

Like a faithful friend

Like seal on my lips

Deep within my heart

Of Love’s wilderness

Rumbling in my heart

Only you come forth

Fleshy taste of strawberry

Love only wisdom

My heart blue and wild

Showering raindrops

For life a tingle

My heart in a sling

The wolves are calling

Clamour quieted

Of summertime’s rains

Rendering delight

Of changing seasons

Dance with me

Plains of the free lie

My shadows are within me

Following their star

Life’s everlasting flower

The regained oneness

Flowing from my mind

Gathering the ink

Within unity

Weaving thoughts

Invading the night

Scent of summertime

Burning within breath

My feet are weary

Welcome to my soul

The souls spared

Fire beneath embers

Our future is bright

In the heart that moved

Waiting for your hand

I am gone

In shape of our hearts

The raven that flew

Third path shone

There beside your heart

They run through rivers

Talking birds

Surrounding my frame

Tune in me

Caught in the blue streams

Rustling reeds

Mind matters

Missing steps

Fragmentation of my mind

Remembrance

Shower me in rain

Irreducible

Love token

Master to pleasure

The reeds in the sun

Tireless tides

Solution to age

Humming pervading

The Edge of the Light

The Interstellar vacuum

Lovingly

Throbs and vibrations

Hands towards the sky

Weigh me scales

In rolls of thunder

Gathering the clouds

Roads to pave

The dark side of the new moon

Fly Away

Listless Heart

Creatures of the Sun

In my dreams

Lullaby

Change the Earth

Soul cheated apall

In conformity

Supernova in making

Moon Petals

Winter Time she rides

Hovering

The Fallen

The God of small Miracles

Into a New Age

Recovering soul

Flying is not for felines

Raven Time

The truth of heartstrings

Fragments of my Heart

Wearing Her

Tremors in my head

Shadows past

In the inner Truth

Remnants of the sky

Sometimes

Angels without wings

Sirens sailors sink

Valentine

Coordinated

Twined the sun

Through impossibility

When the deed is done

Like water rocks boat

Summoning her Frame

In punctuation

Remedy

Shake my Faith

Mock Eternity

Stirring the waters

In recognition

In golden glory

What was meant in skies

In the gold of alchemist

Whirl me tour

Prayer to the one

Heart shines in the mind

From land of all beginnings

Simply Love

Heart in mind now cast

In the wake of Peace

Remember from the ember

Cutting through Slices

In the wings that lift

Sui Generis

Fade away

Of voices fading

Fleeting Fate

Arrival

From knights of Jerusalem

Weaving compassion

Light the skies

Of the waves elemental

From back to before

Contours of ashes

Meanings of the Light

When the Angels cry

Travelling through waves

Building tomorrows’ smiles

Come meltdown

Impartiality

The Target Zero

In upward movement

Darkness overcome

Letting go of Time

Growing sunshine pours

Swallowing the stars

The Prison Planet

On Being the Light

Shape of the future

The Center Holding

Stars written

Code Eternity

Changeling

Jagged intentions

Building Grey

Southern bound

Washed ashore

Endless Road

Reckoning

End of my Journey

Atlantis

Tombstones seal

Unending black holes

Requiem for the Moonlight

Through shores of the Heart

Ticking Bomb

Ascension

Shedding Particles

In the southern sun

Winding photons hum

Presence extension

Grinding halt

In beating temples

Rewiring circuits

Hushed glances

Open doors

The raw taste of strawberry

The multi-petal lotus

In swirling Oceans

Mind reader

Lover never fails you

Rewriting intent

Runner in the rye

Dance with the fairies

Random walk

Overcoming waves

The Stars Rainmaker

The winter bearer

Light in Stone

Receiving the Light

Twining southern sun

Witnesses galore

Seventeen again

Flying with the kites

Blossoms of your breath

April tool

In neglect

Rediscovered lens

Breaking the rat race

Within Soul

Redress of Human

Flying South

March defunct

My ghost above curtain blades

Many into One

Last attempt

Shut Eyes Wide

The God Particle

Three with the Heart leave

The Shades of my Heart

Walk in Love Heart on your sleeve

Of Love’s impression

Come out of the dark 

Elevation Time

Immortal renew

The Blue Moon and She

Agnus Dei

Spiritus Mundi

Aeon Flux

Heaven’s scent redeem

Rebuilding Gaia

I See You Baby

Acknowledging Twists

My Lover Dances

Nine weeks surmising

Love in what you do

Happy days remount

Twining Venus Mars

Filter salt in sea

Anything at All

Deleting the Sun

As Brotherhood stared

Tidal flames will scend

What I see now dies

Corpses dance alone

In the Promised Land

Of Dragons Alit

Protectors of Truth

Messenger

Ring of Secrets break

The Last One Knowing

Lady of the Lake

In between choices

The fools follow lies

Contrived contraption

True love that fenders

Reviving heartbeat

Waters that we seek

Consensus

Error is Human 

Inside Dust and Rain

Blue kingdoms my fleet

Inside there is a soft glow

My Master my Slave

Splinters of the Heart

Rewinding the clocks

Keeper of my Light

Throw me words

Undulating frames

Blended illusion

The purple at dusk

Shadows of our kiss

The heart speaks softly

The last of the ranks

Tones of blues

Wuthering Waters

Birth the day

Co-create

Reach out to the fields

In between two worlds

Sing to me

Unchain me

Shoot straight to the Heart

Whisper to the stars

Seven Moons

Feed me the Music

Into my nine realms

Fleshy Trinity

The Watcher

Waking Ophelia

Infinity’s Time

Blood chalice

Veiled promise

Frozen Times

The inner voices

Deliverance

The fornever more

The inverted roles

I land on my feet

Aquatic

The greatest divide

The whisper of your shadow

Butterfly effect

Quakes by Three

Primitive reorganised

Snowfall

I draw the same lines

What we were tonight

Ceremonial Centuries

The Love in the stars

Come undone

Redemption (Uncommon is strange)

Woman on the Top

New age contemplate

Heart shaped Polly gone

Unbecome and Be 

Ten to the Power of Six

Anarchy

In floating

Sereno variabile

Diversion

Keys of the Kingdoms / La clé des Royaumes

There is a garden

Nothing to confess

Uprooted

Come pleat me

Come out of the Frame

Alice did wondrously land

The birthing process

Magnets of compass

Dissolution Time

Engineering New Angels

For whom the bell tolls

Power coursing through my veins

Walk inside the Light

Candlesticks

Blue lakes inside me

Sirens snow

Opposites

Blue Green Loss

Angel Tears

Angel Burns

Crimson Fields

Blood pearls drip

Nighttime Dress

Splitting ends

Angel ears

The purple rays of twilight

One one thousand clear

Egregious

As the cotton grows

Broken minds

Out of shrubs

Promise of the Fall

Frozen chants curdling

Tainted veils that fall

Withered Time

Breaking beautiful

Clarity of You

The taste of cinnamon spice

Frontal collision

In pour traits within

A Tale of Two Crowns

Heart filled with waters

The Snow falls

A collateral damage

Stopping quakes

Sell me stale

The flaming bushes

Facing Netherworld

In blue shoes

Surreptitious

Unfolding mysteries spin

Walk Swim  Fly

Of heavenly bloom

Starlit rush

Light cycle

Spirit me the Light

The web grows

Soul to Soul talk mends

Once upon a Sway

Rotating

Finding Love

Deride me

Spelling morse

The permanent game

The journey

Heavens’ particles

Unwinding all Time

Melting gold

The promise

The Love grows within

Down by the river

A wild bird to tame

All matter alike

The lost eye opens

Exhaling stillness

Myriads of petals

Evergreen

Suspended moments

Together again

Twenty-three

Paced footsteps

Memory lane

The garden

The endless waters

Dark castles

Touched untouched

Spinning Eight

Warriors

Our traces

Will you see

In between the voids

Of transformation

Weavers in dungeons

Redefine purple

Every magic word

Not at Home

Heavens within me

Polarity world

Scent of a story

All fake rules to breach

Warped Universes

Children of the Suns

Time no Time

Rebirth out of lies

No trade where no fear

Giant that staggers

In the break of twin daylights

In trailing backwards

Inside hours

Molten core

My system failure

Les cadavres exquis / Exquisite corpses

Dissolving in Light

In split particles

Les loups des marais / Wolves of the marshes

Come play Hyde and see

Ours Undying Realms

Out of death

Winds’ dances

Swaying fate

In Twirling

If we’re One

Wherein knights are made

Following the track

Latin beats

Towering stones

Whole nine yards

Chirping birds

Naked tale foretold

Indentures

The kingdoms of past’s abyss

Losing touch

Post scriptum

Within waking dream

Joining Sky and Earth

Domino effect

Semblance of the soul

Accidents on tracks

Between cup and lip

Tango to Centre

Solitary Dream

To Blooming woman

We are One

Open up the box

In Circles of bliss

As Time constricts me

Morning star

Watching life flow by

The silence

Immortal

Ode to Nevermore

Kissing ghosts

Walk swim fly anew

Traces of our pains

Give in to waters

Finding inner observer

Shades of inhumanity

I have a nightmare

Trinity now formed

Know wheat from its chaff

Lest you live as I would die

Consorts for the Gods

Of Divine Union

Esoteric Lover

Embracing the End

All my good luck charms

In composing miracles

Follow flight of birds

Within Grace

Under cherry blossom trees

Spoken in Silence

The multiplying effect

The colours of us

Venus code

Small satisfactions

To love a shadow

Within the absence of all

Through the flying times I knelt

Like love in heart spent

The passage of sunken Time

The Queen of new Times

Glory’s wake

Hushed star’s path

Know thyself

Freelancer

Breaking through

Playing with the light

Bringer of the light

As leaves shrivel brown

Counting my changes

Down goes the hammer

The Devil is in details

Love life’s mystery

Dreamtime’s kiss

Regret to rehearse

Scattered breath

Dilution

Where I watch you rest

As the Ravens swarm

Spring cleaning

Deep within lake Blue

The wings they grow slow

Within I am Home

Veil so thin

The winding footsteps

Morrows in the Sun

Together

The falling children

Your shapes’ ambrosia

Flow the kiss

Time will not turn back

Meals in the quagmire

Funny times

Waters in rivers

Scent of Tomorrow

Inside hopes flourish

Do you see?

Dénouement / Denouement (French poem and its translation into English as a Shadorma as well)

Soul Hacker

The sound of burning cellos

Second skins peel into day

The fading Times’ cuts

Moving fruit of Earth to space

In between rubble and tears

Teach me of respite

Once upon a Memory

The Human in me

Misunderstanding

Into Other Life

Loss and rotten tomatoes

Time to let you go

Beyond the doors of Death’s Gate

The Shadorma is a poetic form alleged to have originated in Spain and consisting of a six-line stanza (or sestet). Each stanza has a syllable count of three  in the first line, five in the second line, three in the third and fourth lines, seven in the fifth line, and five in the sixth line (3/5/3/3/7/5) for a total of 26 syllables. A poem may consist of one stanza, or an unlimited number of stanzas (a series of shadormas) – Taken from  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadorma
Discovered thanks to fellow bloggers FT Ledrew (site here) and Annie (site here) on 12th December, I liked the form so much that I decided to try a few out immediately and dedicate a page to the form.
