Two Shadows

Two shadows on the wall The slightest hint of swaying If I knew any better My sanity's decaying The pendulum moves silently And casts a double shade If my thoughts weren't haunted It would be a sight of grace Though instead it reminds me Of my consuming dread That perhaps he won't return Perhaps my love is dead July 2010

Haunting poem, but I'll say it took talent to write it, the ending is especially excellent, and you held on to the rhythm very nicely.

Slightly on the dark side where I like to walk. Excellent read, pure poetry stanza after stanza with a most satisfying ending.
