Shadowed Poems - Poems about Shadowed

I'm not sure when you left, but my guess is, it's been a process from the beginning. Maybe the moment you left heaven's presence you longed for its essence, and left unnoticed? Or was it when your freedom fell, taken from the grips of hell, and all it taught you to believe about yourself, and life? Or maybe when the one you felt could change...

The mansion looms, a shadowed keep, Where secrets slept and shadows creep. A roll of dice, a whispered plea, "Miss Scarlett in the Library?" The little pawns, a painted crew, Green, Plum, White, a somber hue. Peacock's fan, a scarlet dress, Each held a motive, more or less. The cards held tight, a hidden hand, Of weapon, room, and suspect planned. The lead pipe cold,...

A declaration etched in ink and in stone, Rights whispered softly yet fiercely well known. A birthright claimed in every newborn's cry, A universal truth beneath a boundless sky. But banners unfurl with promises bright, While shadows lengthen obscuring the light. The chains of injustice they bind and they hold, Stories untold in whispers grown cold. A hunger for justice, a thirst for...

Every day when I wake up in the morning I promise myself that today will be different and I’ll change So that I’ll be able to finally sleep without my head hurting From replaying these lucid agonizing moments relentlessly When all I could do is please, support and trust people While they are constantly stepping on me to move forward And...

Shadow Games While my back was turned, you slipped into the store, Went to the washroom, then out once more. You could’ve retraced your steps, stayed out of sight, But you leapt the chain—made sure I’d catch the sight. You lingered at the door, a ghostly trace, A fading whisper with a hollow face. What brought you here to haunt my day? A...

Do you recall yesterday, Or even last month’s sway? How we drifted worlds apart— When I thought we shared one heart. You were my symphony, My dreams of family. But it wasn’t meant to be, A future I failed to see. You veiled the truth from me, With smiley emojis, carefree. Crazy stickers, light disguise— All masking a shadowed goodbye....

Under the shadowed vault of time, where power flickers like a deceptive beacon, Authority entices the shadows, drawing the basest elements of our kind, Throughout history, humanity has been shackled by the dregs of the world, slaves to their own decay, They endure any humiliation, commit any vile act, just to taste the nectar of domination. The wretched remnants...

Lantern of the Shadowed Glade In shadowed glades where spirits dwell, Beneath the boughs of an ancient spell. A pumpkin awaits, its fate foretold, By tomes of old and tales untold. Carved with care by children’s hands, A toothy grin upon its face expands. Yet, within those haunting, hollowed eyes, Lies a deeper truth in dark disguise. On Halloween, beneath pewter beams, Wailing winds...

In the shadowed corridors of the mind, where echoes of forgotten dreams persist, People dance through life, weaving patterns of absurdity to avoid the abyss within, Avoiding the cold mirror of the soul, where truth waits, silent and unyielding, For it is not in imagining figures of light that we find our true selves, But in the brave embrace...

Under the shadowed vault of time, where power flickers like a deceitful beacon, Authority tempts the shadows, alluring the lowest elements of our kind, Throughout history, humanity has been shackled by the dregs of the world, slaves to its own decline, They endure any indignity, commit any vile act, just to taste the nectar of dominion. The world's wretched...

in our darkest dreams there lurks a sullen shadow dreadfully daunting a wispy presence with the face of transgression tirelessly haunting waiting to enter the chamber of our deep sleep to begin taunting laughing as it leaves after planting a nightmare with evil flaunting ...

My heart lay barely beating, drowning in a marinade of salted tears that fell from my reddened eyes. Blood dripped down my chin from biting my swollen lips as if they were wounded like a heart pierced by words that were hurled as if they were whetted daggers. Whose fingertips drew the target upon my lashed back? The attack...

A Shadowed, Darkened Course by M. Griswold 10272020 I evoke a tale of a shadowed, darkened course. Where death rides atop his ghostly gray horse. He's astraddle his saddle with searching evil eye. Scanning far then wide to spy who's next to die. For no man nor woman that's ever been born. Will escape this pale rider’s stare for the forlorn. And upon...

The heart is shadowed The mind is hollow The road forward is blocked The road behind angry mobs follow I run down to the left to the right And find the sorrows of the heart Overflowing Where then do I go I trust in my loved one to be strong I trust in my loved one But all to often am...

I was crushed and miserable from love unfulfilled Like a mourning dove whose blood had been spilled I cried in deep lament as shadowed night grew cold Sorrow burgeoned my heart with miseries untold Overwhelmed with fear, l fell to somberly weeping Wisps of silver moonlight crossed the sky, sweeping It was a pale light in darkness; my hopes were felled On...
