In a quiet realm where echoes gleam,
Where thought becomes both thread and dream,
There stands a Cabinet, carved by Muse—
A keeper of truths the heart might choose.
Its hinges hum with stories untold,
Its shelves are lined with myth and gold.
Within, the bottled songs of years,
The laughter, ink, and salted tears.
Each poem sleeps, yet breathes in wait,
For hands to lift its fragile fate—
To break the seal, release the sound,
Where every word is spelled and grounded.
Here lies the love the heart once feared,
The rage that burned, the hope revered.
Here bloom the fields of what could be,
The lost, the found, the mystery.
From gothic dusk to morning bright,
From whispered pain to blazing light,
No genre reigns, no rule confines—
All truths are welcome in these lines.
For this is not mere page or pen,
But the door to where the “what if” bends.
Each stanza breathes, each rhyme invites,
The soul to wander through its nights.
So open slow, and read with care—
There’s wonder folded everywhere.
For in this Cabinet’s bound disguise,
Lie all our human alibis.
Love and longing, joy and ache,
Dreams that burn, and hearts that break—
Step closer now, and you shall see,
The art of poetic curiosity.
Fantastic! Welcome to the site.
Thank you 😊
I love that this is not mere page to pen line..welcome to Stars Rite
Thank you 😊
This is incredible writing. I’m eager to see more from you. Welcome.
Thank you so much 😊 though I’m still trying to get the hang of this site
You’ll get used to it. Are you on any other sites?
No, I was on one called DUP Deep Uderground Poetry but it’s closed down.
Most everyone here was on that site. Some never returned after it closed.
Excellent 🌼
Thank you 😊
Beautifully penned, Lizz. The thrill of the write still stirs in us writers. Excellent flow and wordplay my friend. Welcome to Stars Rite. Appreciate you.

Thank you 😊 this poem is about my book I’m trying to put together.
Chère L.,
Hope this finds you well.
Love your Cabinet poem.
I read your introduction with pleasure and noticed your intention to put some of your poems to music.
I love that idea.
In fact, most of my poems are put to music. And what I post on StarsRite are poems of other people, as my Dutch poems are so much better that my English ones.
So (in short):
Welcome here and maybe one day we can do a cooperation.
Kind regards, Gus
Thank you 😊 I’m glad you like it. I wrote it because I’m creating a book and it’s going to be the opening in my book though it’s a working progress.
Sure.
Thus opened Pandora’s Box of erotic dreams, Lizz! Wonderful to have you aboard. – ‘HJ’
