Contrary to popular myth, Einstein did NOT reject the existence of Time, but he did reject the differences of its elements, stating that "the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion" ...

Is a phantom with many faces
It drifts, a...

Shadowy Sensuality

I walked in a dream on a silken cloud
     Under moonlight's silver shadowy leafy shroud
               Satiny leaves sunk under my feet in hushed sensuality

Premium Member Shadowy Places
I enter these deep, shadowy places
However, I don’t really have a choice
Reliving flashbacks, their evil faces
Silencing me, abuse, taking my voice

Torture was their way of keeping control
They would resort to inflicting such pain
These type of memories will always roll
By facing these shadows, I always gain

Shadowy Scavengers - Contest
Shadowy Scavengers 

The darkest hour of the  hallowed night 
Wake up the blood dried shadows with
Unfulfilled desires rotting in  purgatory
Wriggle out of their graves to earth flying
To  their unwanted descendants' homes
To fill them with fearful reminders that
Their ancestors are connected through blood...

Under a Shadowy Moon
pure and simple
the smile and dimples
the vanity of being wanted

loved and adored,
 such admiration might
 cause one to be ignored

thus should such behavior
 cause others to favor
simply by the looks of the flesh

eyes can lie
and we know why
he stay's alone to himself

to speak disconcerting 
and...

The Dark Shadowy History Box
That short 'insignificant' sex act.

Short in duration.
Pleasurable in the present, 
Yet a harbinger of blackmail, heartbreak and marital problems to the future.
     
That 'short' sentence spoken without restraints.

Minimal in lexical terms.
Seemingly harmless in the present.
Yet, it takes root in the mind...

Shadowy God
Death valley lies in heart
Lifeless rivers claims urbanity, everywhere 
Tired clouds, touch less, in the far 
A sky touchy way meets another, 
Peahens' beds sound shocked written slogan!

Dark words take a secret glance
Shakuny's eyes make my life a strange goal  
I, omnipresent god of...

Caught up in the shadowy,
Silhouettes dancing, trembling
Like wings in breathless
Whispers, erasing all the fearless
Memories, blending worry
With confusion, desperation
Despair and sin’s onslaught stirring
Anxiety, stalking the heart like
Burdens and struggles, troubling
Even the light that remains,
Where history portrays the limits
Restricting prayers, praise, portions
Fragments of the heart’s faith,
Hope lifted...

Love In a Shadowy Doorway
Well maybe I'll find love
in the shadowy doorway
of a tenement building
'neath a bullet grey sky.

Silver shrapnel will rain
down
soak our leathery feet
watered and overgrown.

Love in a shadowy doorway....

Dear little shadowy 

Show me a way
To fix some enemies of mine
I'd like to make them suffer
Like they did me

I'll open a draw
which you may find interesting
but don't come back to me
and say it was a misunderstanding
once done it can't be undone
So think about it

Premium Member Shadowy Figures
Shadowy figures reflected in the panes
Framed with aloe and bougainvilleas,
Unaware, they move furtively like spirits
Dancing in another dimension of space,
They whisper of happier times long ago
When they were young and I was not here.

Premium Member The Shadowy Figure
A shadowy figure has visited thrice.
It's neither demonic, human nor a creature.
It has no form, no voice, no face
Nor has it any feature!

When it arrives tween sleep and awake
Where dreams and reality merge,
There's full body paralysis but a very active mind
A bolt of fright through...

Shadowy Rogues
Shadows here, shadows there, shadows everywhere,
Moving, flying, lying in wait,
Creeping out on me and my mates. 
No one should expect to be safe,
Especially, if you are out late.


Scary, limp, darken and dreary,
Sending the chills to make me weary.
Every moment I’m friendless
Wishing they let me sweat...

Shadowy Corners of Its Facade
In every effigy there is infamy...
I conceive every domain.
That is my immortal doctrine...
 I see into the shadowy corners of its facade...
  Feel its faded power and ruined
  opulence?  The cracks remain...
   I construct the lines of fate...
   That is only by decree.
    A washed in sweet...
