Silhouetted Stagnant Shadows

Silhouetted Stagnant Shadows Stagnant shadows of night sequestered slaves in sight Faces fading in fright as the fear feeds the lethargic light Silhouettes of love in plight demons dancing in delight As darkness devours the white, images surreal will smite Within negative reflections of my loves dire defections Outlines of lost connections metaphors of misdirection’s Dormant internal infections reliving raging resurrections Silhouetted projections of my dismal depleting affections Black portraits of palpable pain never to rejoice and regain Darkened phantoms of grain scornfully sabotaging the sane Deceivers of the defiant drain tragically tangled of the twain Vanity in a voiceless vain the sentinels stand in their reign A dark matter display particles of light have gone astray Within a decomposing decay a silhouetting fractal buffet In my capturing love delay, silent shadows bitterly betray And now my dreams are far away within a black hole ballet.

Hi WW, a wonderful journey through words and through space. One can look at this poem in several different ways. I like these kinds of poems. We can look at it as looking into life. In the end, no matter what i take from this write the main fact is, it is brilliant. An excellent piece of poetry once again. It is another chance to dance through your thoughts and enjoy the words you place before us. Your dreams do sing my friend. This has to be a fave. Your Friend always....Mike.
