Emile Pinet Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

Shadows of Shadows

My subconscious chains strain

to keep my demons tethered to fantasy,

as demonic beasts test my moral resistance,

while ripping relentlessly with teeth and claws.


Grotesque self-images,

like shadows of shadows forged in the bowels of hell,

once freed, would defile the sanctity of my soul

with carnal lust and debauchery.
