The Aura of Shadow

My gloomy sky showers sonorous rain with melody of tear, the saturated shards of my shattered heart can only hear. The sunset colors paint your portrait in transient twilight, the clumps of gilded cloud frame it on their rainbow flight. As its shimmering shadow floats in the sea of my emotion, in the squall of passion my longing waves dance in elation. Before your image sinks in dismal depth of my morose core, the waves bring it, adorned with pearls, to my mind’s shore. My yearning cadence syncs with the rhythm of fervent flow, surging from my heart to the aura of your glowing shadow. ______________ April 8, 2023 Contest : Simply Poetry 2 Sponsored by : John Lawless
