Best Afraid Of His Own Shadow Poems

Love is an authority.
It dictates choice and consequence
and joins together all the wayward lamenters
who grieve at their loss of purity.

Love is an actuality.
It breathes new life into masochists
who wished to die a thousand times over
and prey upon the weak and fragile.

When you let love in...

It’s been ten days, the Easter Bunny is gone with hardly a trace,
The Missus is inconsolable- an Easter basket-case,
Evidence in plastic bags, some fibers and some fur,
The family suspects foul play, the police, they do concur,
This once pristine meadow has senselessly been fouled,
Safety and security...

You're never gonna see me in the corner
As if I were afraid of my own shadow.

The Shadow of Death is in the corner,
Although the Grim Reaper is not looking so grim.
He is not dressed in a black robe, 
Nor is there a scythe to be...

Once i known a girl who used to walk with glee
Now i suddenly remembered that how was she
Elegance perfection reflects her face
Now i interrogates that everything was wrong with her new pace
U cant believe that the girl was once recieved so...

Behold my heralded new beginning
When I've been sinning instead of winning
Afraid of my own shadow
It was some kind of fad though
So take a seat and hear my yarn
It has enough gas to burn down the barn
I'm done being a doormat
I'm tired of this fat
And my...

You ask me- why it is, that I flinch ?
With every sudden movement , that I don't see coming.
 Like I expect to be hit .
It's a leftover reaction . 
Like a residual tic.
A predetermined mechanism physically attempting to defend my physical self. 
For at...

Lost Forever

A child with no where to go
Alone in a world 
Full of people
Such a tiny voice
No one could hear
A Child

Lost Forever

Pretending to be okay
Not wanting any one to see the pain
Afraid no one would believe
A child 

Lost Forever

Not knowing whom to turn to
Afraid of...

Facing the light I am so afraid
I cannot even look down -back
It haunts me so bad
Sometimes, perhaps my bad luck

Each morning, sometimes I have to look up
Otherwise I will be haunted to death
I cannot even look down
Always afraid to face myself

Sometimes I don't look in...

No, I'm  not one of those who say, "It's nothing, it's collateral damage for just cause."
How much I regret this plight of conscience,
people walking around unmindful of the tragedy.
Have they no trace of humanity?
Are there no rules of war?
Is genocide allowed?
The spirit of contradiction...

Too Bright

The sun is shining
Yes, I see
It's shining bright
But not for me
The birds are chirping
Flowers bloom
But me, I'm staying in my room
The sun is shining
This I know
But I'm afraid of my own shadow...

a penny saved is a penny earned
adding insult to injury, her love was spurned
afraid of his own shadow and against all odds
airing his dirty laundry happened to both Todds
the all mighty dollar earned by a chip off the old block
all talk no action and an...
