I Seek Not Its Light

I seek not its light


I cast my eyes towards the sun,
beyond the darkened fence, the fielded midnight thoughts,
watching, through clouded images, knowing eventually
I will witness the birth of a new day

I reach with my smile in a curved line
seeking a destiny still unknown but written
in verses of future phrases,
which will come to pass…in multi-colored inks of affection

I send my heart on waves of scented mist,
collected from the corners of my world,
flowing free from silent words and favored gestures
of desire’s endless intentions

I hand my love to nature, freely, willingly…
so that it may be delivered amidst
blooming jasmine and truer promises…to you,
before another dawn’s light finds your beauty and you awake

I cast my eyes towards the sun…yet I seek not its light,
nor its warmth…for all I seek is you

Good morning Soupers

I seen your title, I thought this would be sad, but it is not. I like it. Thanks for reading my Shadow poem. , I was watching a movie and a shadow went across the wall and I wrote it :)

Hey there my friend. Thank you so much. (I wish I had a better way with words on these comment replies, they never seem to express how grateful I truly am for you stopping by) You are always so kind to me. I am thrilled you enjoyed this.
