Short Overshadowed Poems

Sometimes 
I wonder if I'll ever hear from him
Overshadowed by, I really don't care
It's crazy but I really don't care
Until I do...

tall men overshadow the small men
in great sadness we all fall down
joy abounds from the inside of hearts and souls
tears fall like stars
onto the cracked pavements of old...

A quiescent quiver
haunted the quagmire,
a quandary of purpose
overshadowed the quest.
The quadrangle protected
its secrets in silence.

On her unfortunate face,
Expanding with grace;
A tyrant of a pimple,
Looking to be simple…
But with cohorts, an ample,
Intending her young skin to rumple
And her peace crumple:
All- too- overshadowed her dimple....

Why are you still overshadowed by a doubt
 If only you could see the love that carries me

 I would walk on water, just to be with you
 walk on water, just to be with you
 split the ocean, cross the sea
 walk on water, if you believe...

needless irrationally based volatile situations 
overshadowed all rationality that remained 
alive within the realm of reality that the 
past self inhibited till one day
irrationality finally overtook the 
space that was left uninhibited...

Cuddling in soft blankets
feeling cherished
adding Vicks
which brings me extra comfort
and childhood memories
I pick up my warm mug
filled with hot chocolate
overshadowed by the large
melted marshmallow 
floating all over the top
Life is grand!...

a confessional
                 age
in the culture
of 
  narcissism

sub-conscious
               & disguised
ubiquitous
sits 
   the selfie-soul

overshadowed
by
obsession

in the
   making
      a mirror
myth
for
  others
to
   see...

when u can feel the doom
as you create ruckus
to break the shell of yours
in making your way
into the unknown 
a sense of loss
overshadowed by anonymity 
is all it comes down to
shaking off the cold 
reaching the surface 
is all it turns out to be about...

The Plant of Liberty
Ujjal Mandal, India


A man wading through blood
holding the plant of enfranchisement.
It is none but an Indian fighter and
we are all overshadowed by
the tree unchained today.

Stars twinkle above
overshadowed by the moon--
lovers hold their breath

Two hearts are beating
together like they are one
moonlight on her face 

He takes her hand
falls to bended knee
Will his ring outshine the moon?

I used to be carved out of marble
I used to take a chisel and hammer
To my useless pieces, and break them off
But over time, the empty spaces
Overshadowed the solid frame of me
I have run out of material to shape
I am no longer marble, I am
Bone white shards swept under the rug...

So here it goes
A friend of mine
I call it pride
It controls my might

It made me cry
It put me to tears 
So many times
I wish you could hear

Inside of me
Its screaming loud 
The strongest I've ever been
Though hope is found 


It's all overshadowed 
Pride doesn't borrow...

A restless star,
Dreary sky,
Overshadowed by Mercury's sigh,
Saturns Capricorn as he raises high,
Gemini's love he can't deny,
Unbalanced the signs,
However draw nigh ,
Only to realize an ever changing sky,
Once incompatible,
A new era arrives.
Gemini's love,
In Capricorn's eye....

Darkened clouds overshadowed me
Insults dropped like rain, My
Thick layer emerged



















There are times when people are at
their worst and they do all they can
to make you just as miserable as
them ,don't let them...Just smile 
and put on your Thick Layer....

My desires eclipse who I am.

I stand only to fall into sin.

My thoughts are clouded:

The world grows louder with perverse laughter.

I feel overshadowed by the darkness surrounding me.

Without hope of ever being saved

I pray to be set free from these mortal fears:

Taunting & embarrassing me....

Bang bang that's all you ever hear these days.
Five hundred people can win Grammies and it'll be overshadowed by a person getting shot.

Is this the life we wanted? Can we really say we made it?
Everyday I go out and ask myself " what the hell is this?"

I'm not done ,yet, shooting down my prey and rebuilding my life....

many things 
have became 
overlooked over 
time 
many things 
have been 
overshadowed 
covered with 
resentments stain
years of misunderstandings 
years of misrepresentation
years of missteps 
years of unmended mistakes
have all accumulated 
a top one another to 
create this valley of 
emotional estrangement...

My heart gets broken, I can't cry
Feel the fall as words are spoken 
Harsh ideas, that you imply
My heart gets broken

Mind spirals, as old wounds reopen
Entire self, on you I rely
Eyes closed plain sailing, now woken

My every fault you magnify
Overshadowed, life does darken
I took no time to fortify
My heart gets broken...

Waiting
For the end
To fall
And the beginning
To start.

Waiting
For the hope
To light
My heart, my soul
My will.
As the darkness
Is on its way
To establish
Its supremacy.

The fire in you
The fiery orange
Overshadowed
In remote
Wilderness
But
You're still
Waiting

Waiting
For the sun
To rain
And the rain
To shine....

Night comes
With nothing to delay the inevitable.
Stars hidden by solar bright,
Once more visible
Yet they never went away.
Revolving, changing angles, altering perspectives,
Still the heavens remain constant.
Seen, overshadowed, out of sight, Longing for us to return once again, To bathe in the light reflected from Our life giving star....

Rolling down the dusty unmade road
Over the rackety bridge we rode
A slow trickle of water under it flowed
Driving on even though the road narrowed

Tranquillity not at all overshadowed
Room to breath without feeling harrowed
Inner paths stretch leading to the highroad
Places now flash by, some of them hallowed

explosions 
      of tonality
post
romantic

bells birdsong
melody & dance

moving movements
to caress
the soul
            alight
             in the ear

sounds of nature
harmony
harnessed
    
  in
     tragic outbursts
insightful
profound&deep

crescendo of death
            exposed
overshadowed
with
hope
       resurrected...

Blind from birth believing, seeing
All he needed to see
A bold witness to truth
Undeniable faith, unshaken and piercing
Through darkness overshadowed by night

Blind from birth, both
Eyes open, casting silhouettes
On one who heal
Pressing his way forward

Hear him out
Loud through silence
Speaking in faith
 
Joy exposed
To one
