It creeps up on me early morning
and again late afternoon
a microcephalic shadow,
almost the length of a football pitch,
Land of the giants view
My childlike head is miles
away and dwindling,
constantly deflating
Proteus syndrome echoes
back through generations
crossing time zones too
Elongated diffraction
casts a very long shadow,
tapering reality
Low sun dysmorphia
projects a reflection of me,
A filtered perspective
revealing my only truth
Those beans I threw away
yesterday were not magic
No golden goose lives atop the stalk
just a grotesque shell,
and one giant (yoke)
flattening all potential
I try look away
but as always
a grain of sand
blocks my view
Come chop me down,
flinch as I fall
Step over my shadow
you’ll need
(seven league boots)
But most of all,
no fixed roots!
Clouds floating underneath caught my vision
like torn pieces of white carded cotton.
I was flying in the sky crossing ocean.
Red Sun about to peep through horizon.
Charmed to see changing color-spectrum
on my flight, looking through the plane-window,
overwhelmed, watching the sky-album,
amused to see me above, Sun below.
Sunbeams started to paint sky at random.
Refraction, reflection , diffraction dazzled.
Dawn-sky touching horizon turned awesome.
Gorgeous Sunrise made me just puzzled.
Once I chanced to glance amazing sunrise
resonating on rhythmic symphony
on splendorous view with grand surprise.
Sky glowing on sunshine in harmony.
Appeal of Poetry
Poetry is the open wide window of life to breathe fresh
on creation cum recreation
and in introspection .
Wandering in dreams to be amused
on own muse resonating musical.
Human emotions is best to be relished
through poems.
Lyrics also are part of poetry to reflect in core of heart
neither to analyze nor to criticise,
Emotive urges surge to flow in opulence
in poetry sprouting through seeds of dormant desires
sown in human soul.
Poems , whelm sparkling as gems
on refraction, diffraction
through lens of feelings producing
fabulous, fervid, fervent fervour..
Whatever !
May be composed in symmetry of rhymes
or formed in assymetrical free verse
yet must be rhythmic being enhanced
in passion, warmth and presentiment.
Pretty Poetry has ecstatic entry
to find permanent place in every mind
My hidden shadow is a stage
daily entertained with memories of all that caused me broken heartbreaking rage
As common as dirt
this hidden shadow dares to taunt me with only of what involves pure hurt
shadow,
Why are you so cruel ?
You have journeyed aside my entire life and yet no mercy for what you seen me go through ?
Nothing but a block to the better me.
You might have gotten most of me but I wont stop fighting back to escape and finally be free.
Soon you shadow will know light!!!!
Due to nearby diffraction soon to occur you will have no more blackness but stripes of color that will shine so bright !
Written as a Quotes
"When it rains look for rainbows“.
"When it’s dark look for stars".
Dear shadow self,
You were my bitter sweet moment that will drive me far from darkness,
Because with you I wont forget how
miserable I felt!!!
My dark shadow is a stage
daily entertained with memories of all that caused me broken heartbreaking rage
As common as dirt
this black shadow dares to taunt me with only of what involves pure hurt
shadow, why are you so cruel
you have journeyed aside my entire life and yet no mercy for what you seen me go through
nothing but a block to the better me
you might have gotten most of me but I wont stop fighting back to escape and finally be free

Though each season's rain varies, man's answers are few,
And true love's more a phantom that most men can't please,
When the future looks iffy, the present reeks too,
Still the rainbow's God's promise for those on their knees.
Though most men need to work to provide daily bread,
And our limited lifetimes prove no man Life's source,
Though all stars share our fate holds no hope for the dead,
Still, the rainbow's existence's Love's colorful force!
Did the rainbows exist friend before Noah's flood?
Were the laws of diffraction just born on that day?
And does Satan's might counter 'Christ crucified's' blood,
That God's Truth's there for all, all that I have to say!

Love substance seems to be twain
by the natural human brain
and will always remain the same
as thinking remains on a natural plane
When human concepts we clip
beginning to touch angel wing tips
arising from lies, earthly disguise
realizing demise, as an angel wing flies
Agape returns, precept we learn
we’ll know what we’ve missed
by heavenly love we’ll be kissed
we’ll know as we’re known,
for by love we’ll be honed
All life is love in action
diminished in earth by human faction
perfection by heaven, loves action
diminishes human plane diffraction
