Short Shadow Of My Soul Poems

The heartache gone,
but still remembered

Its pain
—the shadow of my soul

tried too hard to hide it
melancholy seeps through
this shadow on my soul
the sun does not get to

I sang my song to you
and cast it to the wind
echoes in the stillness
throbbing pain within

follow your heart's path
the one that leads away
abandon what is here
it's your redemption day...

I  am a whisperer, shadow of your soul
hear my tears flow on your cheeks,
feel the shiver of my laughs.

I am a whisperer, your silent epitome
feel the pain of my words
cutting through your heart.

I am a whisperer, I am your conscience
I'll follow you around, 
mimic you or mock you.

I am You....

Shadow of my soul
Speaks to me in parables
Somewhere from my back
When I turn round to perceive
It was not Jesus Christ
His best enemy it was
Telling me in polite language
‘Go to Nazareth, go now
Follow the star rising in the west
A new king of your stomach is there
Born today that you and your kith
May eat for the future
All that is created today’...

Under the sticky city lights
She wears venom high heels
Quenches ones thirst of margarita
Sway meringue and salsa

Eyes speaks- the twilight shadow of her soul
Smiles spread from her Cherubic face
Drown the crowd with her laughter
Desired by many sleepless envy

A mute whispers untamed heart-
of society's hair of glitter and salt
Still Nameless,mysterious undisclosed
Back in wilderness_she evolve....

Many can smile
But not all smiles are created equally
A smile 
A shadow of the soul
In reality some smiles are cold!
Smiling depression is something
We need to break free of because
Too often we keep our depression private!

A smile can cover up the shame
A smile can lift up your name
A smile can brighten up the day
A smile can hide away the pain 
Many can smile
But not all smiles are created equally

A primordial fear takes over.
These pathways are not reaching anywhere.
I am leaving blank papers
for you.

This was dark matter,
you start dying from birth.
A fireball sails through you
reaching for the shadow of the soul.

The seawall collides with hurricane
shattering the window panes,
of temporal lobes.
And I am the salt,
I am the eye.

The sky is stepping down from heaven
which never was.
Man was the destroyer
man was god.
