Notes About The Poem

Clouds Shadow

May the sunshine
Caress the harmony
Of your soul
To harness
The similar traits displayed
Placing bets squarely
Upon the eye-shine
Lost into costly greyness
But loving shadows
Living from the clouds
The depressive but striking
Long desired passion
Of days in the sun
Producing the clouds to cast
A darkness over-
Piercing the eyes
Lashing into oblivion
But loving timeless
Feel of shadow
Love glowing towards me
Leaping, lapping, grinding
Never sad – crushed
Like diamond dust
Sparkles, indestructible
But still sanded down
Towards the shards
Of her tenderness lost
Within my soul
I now harbor
The sunshine days of clouds
Shadows define me

Gregory Richard Barden December 1, 2017 at 2:27 AM Just adore this wonderful write, my friend, from beginning to end you held me captive ... and I so relate, as I have lived in the shadows for many years, taking spiritual sustenance where I can. This is superb ... enjoyed it very much. I hope you are well, and your wife - it's been a while since I heard from you. Blessings, Buddy! :-)

Arthur Vaso November 18, 2017 at 9:23 PM I found this to be a melancholy poem, beautifully expressed.

Richard Lamoureux November 18, 2017 at 3:54 PM This runs the gambit of emotions. Skillfully expressed and a true pleasure to read.

Vijay Pandit November 18, 2017 at 11:04 AM A bittersweet discourse of emotions--feelings of happy and sad --well depicted Russell!

Silent One November 18, 2017 at 10:49 AM This is really deep, but to me it sounds like a sad poem and that you are in a sad mood... You expressed this very well in your own unique style..
