Thief In The Shadow
He lingered in the dark unseen
The odour of his perfume mixed in the air
Pillar to pillar he jumps
To steal a treasure cursed with doom
In the secret he loom
For a piece that holds only myth
The dark his safety
And his shadows his foe
Image generated using Gemini AI
Before him were gold beyond measure
But for one jewel he came
One told of by legends and prophecy
Risking his life for a doom that awaits them all
A thief in the shadow unseen
A secret he alone carries
A path life has bestowed upon him
To bring to pass, a prophecy once told

Every thief knows the risk. They know their fate, yet they dare to challenge the odds. Each success builds confidence. Jewels becomes their destiny. As they unfold in the dark they become the hunter; ironically hunted. They are a personification of greed.
That's a fine addition to the poem.
