Human Shadow

~DEEP SHADOW~ No eyes to interpret the melodic phrases One soulless heart wondering No grip against gravity Shadows lurking to find its own Searching and lost with no light A presence with no skin, slithering in the dark Feeling the longing of attachment Aching for the touch of you Slipping out of the fingertips of reality No motion, no spine, a silent part of you Plants with no seed A deep desire, human's come with need Watching each and every trend with no mess Envious of life from the human lips Smelling the breath, out the human mouth Speaking in tongue Go, come into the light I need you, my label The only one by my side Draw a face where I lay I am that part of you No need to call me a silhouette A blueprint of good taste, of me and you When your tears flow I long the feelings inside Three times the sorrow That moment you confide my way I may not have human flesh However, I throw away upon you like shade Admitting to being stepped on like pavement I am naught but a phantom, a bitterness of tone But in death will we be torn apart You are the one conceived, to be alone At every end At night, once the lights are out beneath you, I stay Destined to walk, the walk Side by side, One day I will thank you For guding me BY: PD

Awesome write Linda!! My favorite lines are I am naught but a phantasm, a bitterness of tone But in death will we be torn apart You are the one convinced, to be alone Amazingly poetic and the meter and pace made reading it (I actually had to recite it out loud to hear the lyrical tone) a joy.. Nice. And thank you for your comment. Much appreciated

I love your take on dualism here. One (shadow) can't exist without the other (body). I love the ending "one day I will thank you". Great work!! Totally my style of writing!

You are a very artistic writer Dark One, I love this line, 'when i wish you could confide in me', I think our shadows could tell us a lot about ourselves, loved the whole thing. Now, dare I ask how you can make a man cook? ok, soooooo weak lol, How? Take care, Regard Richard

You really got me thinking with this one PD! I sure admire your writing style--you shift from serious to thought provoking to amusing and it's really quite impressive :) looking forward to reading your entry for Constance's contest--I wonder what your theme is?

sounds touching. for someone you really care for and want to reach out to.a longing of attactchment is somehow always better when you don't actually have them in your arms. im going to read more of your poems now. im sorry for my absence.lol this week i had a bit too much of a "blast" and lost myself in the moment. i'll be posting a new poem today. maybe two. i just have to edit them on mircrosoft. i hope your saturday is filled with peace P.D. -Always&Forever Lynette
