just a girl
i'm invisible
you see right through me

you see me
but you never notice me

you talk about me
but never to me

you know who i am...
**but you dont know i exist

Shadows on the wall
Leather puppet laughter
seeping through the ground
Javanese man long buried
is uncovered by the puppet dance
The hammering sounds
of the gamelon orchestra
move like vapors through the blood
vipers through the ground
Shadows on the wall
Our shadows
      like puppets
          we are watched

The darkness hides the real figures
We see the shadows
only our shadows
Dancing on the wall
The audience laughs
from the wall
We see ourselves sitting

The wall is everywhere
A yellowish brown paper,
that hided in the page of,
an old book
somehow,
a few rain dropped on it
disappeared,
A few alphabet of time
beginning and ending is clear,
said spotted dark behind
called me,
A lost journey of an era-

@ Musfiq us shaleheen
A Lost Time that still pinch hit me very where i lost my love and hope....

Pride is a must, essential to guard

The Soul Within you claim your own.

Vanity, a replacement, an alter ego

To depend and rely prior

The True Self is known.

You are compelled to construct

a man made core to revolt

Around to contain your thoughts,

your feelings or else—

your heart shall rust.

Then living will no longer be

possible for you, are blinded.

You can't see, you cannot seek

yourself in your fear.

Confined and so you had to pretend

to put up a facade, a mask a tent.

Untaught of the fickle you must believe

in the dark, the unknown, mysterious

*Shadow.

There is a hidden part

A part that is playing hide and
                                       seek

A part that we don't dare
                                      show

A Shadow that stays within us
                  
                         forever...

Poetic T
It was the light show of the heavens
Grazing the atmosphere,
Like fairies skimming on a pond,
"Then the light faded"
But something was wrong
Shadows moved upon there own
No longer were they prisoners
The light had brought Darkness
Upon us all,
They were like trap doors
For what ever fell in to the shadows grasp
Was gone
Flesh,
Bone,
Cloth,
All consumed
As if fallen in to a black hole
Street lights were a place
For ladies of the night
But people crowded around
Where ever light shone
Illuminated
Bright,
Florescent,  
The shadows would dare not go,
Those on the rim were easy pray
For a wrong step
And in to the night screaming
Then silence
Never to be seen again
But shadows get in to places where
light Is needed
But a shadow print
Placed over metal then it was gone away,
So the lights flickered
On,
&
Off,
With each flicker
The crowd thinned
Screams then a soundless nothing
The emergency light glowed on
Like an angel keeping those below from harm
But the light was dimmer than before
Many were lost as time went by
But the sunrise was ticking closer by
As dawn broke upon the world,
The ghouls of shadow
Screamed as in Pain,
The light corrupted the darkness
It was ****** in to its on abyss
Then nothing,
What was once inanimate
Then full of darkened life
Consumed the world in black
Was once again upon the foot,
The light of the heavens
Had opened a gap
Where living darkness crept upon the ground
Corrupted shadows
Gave them life,
But now light had brought there demise
Life will never be the same
When light turns darkness alive.

There's fire in the air
and its lighting up the street
it burns so carelessly
and free

it creates shadows on the ground
shadows all around
that glow like the summer heat
and flow like the wind in November

he believes he's got the system beat
and we fight to remember
and we fight to believe
there is something more than the emptiness we receive

there's water that paints the sky clear
with exasperated dry tears
fill clouds and the thunder speaks loud

no shadows on the ground
no sunshine through the cloud
just the daily frown
of hollow people trying to remember
how it felt to feel
that wind in November

In my mind,
I can speak to you.
In my mind,
I can laugh with you.
In my mind,
I can touch you.
In my mind,
I can look in your eyes.
In my mind,
I can prove my feelings.

In my mind,
I am not terrified.
In my mind,
I am not broken.
In my mind,
I am not worried.
In my mind,
I am not shaking.
In my mind,
I am not afraid to want, to hope.
Would you be willing to stay long enough for me to try?

You make my face hot,
my heart race,
my toes tap,
my eyes light up,
and my knees weak;

out of fear,
because your hands were around my neck,
and my life was in your hands.
You left marks that no object or emotion could cover.
You're gone forever, but those repressed memories will be stuck with me for longer than that.
