Shadow Poems - Poems about Shadow

When the seed of fear is planted in minds, It germinates in brains as a tormentor— Sometimes sown by a whisper, a shadow, a lie repeated twice. When illusion becomes reality, And starts by making the heart skip a beat, then more of its beats, then all of its beat. It creates monsters in our eyes in the dark, Born from...

I wore my father’s shadow like a festive coat. It took me long to realize it was nothing but a blanket with which I covered my shame of being human....

It’s not always the big things that break us— it’s the shimmer we miss on the ordinary day. When grief doesn’t arrive with a wail, but as a subtle ache, a missed beat, a song that plays when no one’s listening. I remember being happy once— but I don’t trust the memory. Too many mirrors, too much static. I learned to smile in sepia. And when the...

I remember when your laughter Was a light across the floor— Sun spilling from your mouth, Feet dancing through the door. But now the house is quiet, And your eyes don’t meet mine. You sit, unmoving, breathing, Like a clock that lost its time. I nudge your hand in silence, Bring my leash, then bring it back, But you just stare through windows, Watching days fade...

In the silence of the cosmos, life is a dance of light and shadow, Extraordinary and alive, a miracle not limited to wealth, People seek riches, pride, security, anchors in time, But they lose the essence, for life is not measured in houses and cars. In the rush for a job to pay for cold walls, They get lost in...

At The Dawn of My Time The Light shone so brightly it blinded my sight But with its warmth and promise of opportunity I reveled in the notion of optimism and its delight He lurked behind my back Staying out of my site, I hardly knew He was there Silently watching, waiting, looking over my shoulder But in my youth, I barely...

they slither down the long halls coiling thoughts like vine-sharp calls calm defies walls lean in with breathing cracks truth waits, but never walks back you flicker—don’t ask why their whispers rise like flood and tide but roots hold beneath the lie you break—and light slips quietly by...

Not once did I blink, Afraid your gaze would fade at twilight’s brink, Drowning silent in your soundless sea, Begging the world to let me be, Even if death walks next to me. No past to flee, No future to believe, Only you — a shadow near, Clutching time in a crystal tear. I won’t let go of your hand, Though skies might break and...

In the shadow of silence, when the soul sings of unknown longings, An ancient song rises within me, like an incantation, In which lines of stars float, caught in the threads of the night, And the dream envelops me like a wave of infinite, ungraspable. In the blue of this universe, where time flows slowly, Whispers of wind and drifting...

The clouds once soothed my skin. I breathed the wind rising high. Shadows lingered deep within. They vanish as light draws nigh. Velvet silence softly spread. Light came near with gentle steps. Truth arrived in twilight’s cape....

She thinned to vapour, blue as longing's edge, while we searched skywards, calling her lost name. Wind replied in whispers no one could catch– just hollow notes strung on a frayed thread. Now dusk repeats her gesture: palms upturned, spilling light where her shadow once poured. We drink the rain, still tasting her farewell. ...

We know your game And we are not going to become slaves to it We've seen you spin your lies like a spiders Web Your crimes of deceit will come back to smite you The heavens will rain down on you There is no escape from eternity Hear these words said Let them infest your head Your silence will betray you...

In halls where silence speaks louder than words, I stand, a beacon amidst the unseen. Their gazes, sharp as unspoken swords, Pierce through the facade, where I've always been. Once, my voice resonated with pride, Now, it's drowned by murmurs and disdain. Yet, I endure, with dignity as my guide, In a place where respect is hard to attain. But within me, a...
