Silhouette Poems

Silhouette of a Stranger

The bloody stranger stank of rank grass and
Animal grime and strutted unnoticed on
Our threshold on a long, misty night.

Lightning, unaccompanied by rain,
Exposed his grisly image,
Comprehended quickly by the village griot,
A humepenthe with seeing eyes, though blind,
Who could smell danger even from long-dug holes of
Doss-houses from distant caverns.

A common, vile dictator is abroad tonight!

The Man In The Moon

Dancing in my room as the daylight fades
my silhouette turns pirouettes on the window shade
how much love does it take to break the spell
and shake this gloom I know too well
rainy days I've had my share
the outlook it's not always fair
searching for a way reaching out for you
'til you return and make the sun shine

Whisky-Stained Silhouette

a whiskey stained silhouette outlines your figure 
and the spiced smell of your breath lingers in the air
drunken lies in the late hours of the night make us both forget about how bitter, our lives taste
filling your soul with fire and regret every sip you take
swallow the flame, it sets fire to the heart
the burning

Phantom Silhouette

They see my outline, never my core
A silhouette against their expectations.
Their whispers trail behind me like shadows,
Interpretations I never authorized.

I speak in colors they refuse to see,
My words are distorted through their clouded lens.
When I reach out, they flinch from phantom claws,
Reading threats into my outstretched hands.

I am tired of this constant translation,
Of shrinking myself

Silhouette

From where she headed 
in an unknown direction 
Since that moment,
I haven't been able to get 
in touch with my relatives.
So far nothing is known 
about her whereabouts.

Whisper of the Mirror

In the breadth of madness,
A silhouette twisted by illusion,
Flows the molten stream of evil,
Into the chasms of his gray dreams.

The rebellions of flesh, heavy with indolence,
And the barrenness of bleak thoughts,
Scratch at the dignity that follows sin.
The insanity of a mirage,
Rising from the depths of the soul's cellar,
Unleashes its poisonous whip,
And whispers, again and again—
You

Sunset Silhouette

splash of setting sun
illuminates her beauty
upon endless seas

Shadows

Shadows
Whether they will be small, huge, tiny, big,
Short, tall, round, large or giant from anything and everything in this world, 
Shadows always appear.

They will become attached to you when the light rays,
Casts when something blocks you in the dark and, 
Follow you like a noir copycat mime.

The silhouette forms the basis of a 2 dimensional

Silhouette

I took it in my palm
A stray that looked familiar
Confused, lost, beaten
It was my silhouette
It had left me a decade by
We had a difference of opinion
And we walked a separate road
I'd often think of him
In passing
In a shop window reflection
In a quiet winter morn
When I was alone
We had been close once
Fought battles in playgrounds
Lay beside

I was fooled

The curvature with the bumps seen well carved,
My innate restraints were blatantly starved.
Her faint silhouette, my lust suddenly craved,
With the entrance to her paradise paved.

She swayed like shadows of an hourglass cast,
My hands, drawn to her fullness, held steadfast.
With nature’s finest art upon her chest,
Sensuous sweats soaked through my thin white vest.

Suddenly, the sky grumbled

My Majestic Silhouette

My majestic silhouette is indicornis,
often missed by those who don’t believe;
The idea that I exist they tend to dismiss,
I have just a few tricks up my sleeve;

Longing to be a feline ink trotter 
and become less inter-dimensional;
This goal has captivated a plotter,
admittedly ingenious is phenomenal;

I never claimed to be too innocent,
neither does a single mischievous

Silhouette

Broken glass tiptoes
tomorrow's regret
caught in the shadows
of last night's upset
stained by tobacco
one more cigarette
framed by the window
his dark silhouette.

Sun Dance

sun silhouette slides
sinking in serenading 
cotton candy clouds

baptized in ocean
white flight of sea gulls glowing
like stars of sun dance

Silhouette

Silhouette 

Dining in a solitary dinner
Sitting uptight
In wanton solace 
Wallowing in despair 
Amidst these flickering shadows 
Behooving a twerking mind
Bemused with the welcoming darkness 

Silhouette

At one point, I thought I knew,
Looking in your eyes I thought I knew you,
It blew my mind, the thoughts you shared,
It hit me hard, I almost fell off my chair,
I wanted to know more, I wanted to understand,
How in the world my heart felt so connected to this man,
Every time you spoke, it was
