Natasha Turner Poet Free verse

The Theatre of Shadows

The Theatre of Shadows

Welcome to the theater of shadows
A place where there’s no time and space
No heartbeat, no shine
No rhythm, no rhyme.

Yet the place is full
Everyone seems eager, yet so dull
Their eyes glazed
Their souls chased

Their innocence has faded
Shame glitter on their faces
Frozen with fears
No melody to their ears

Yet they keep on coming, yearning
To watch love’s greatest performance
But the stage is bare, there’s no one there
No solace for their despair
