Shadow Mar 2020
The clock is ticking
My body is sweating
I toss and turn
It is impossible to sleep.
Shadow Mar 2020
A roiling sea of jet black clouds
Masked the sky speckled with stars
Waves rise and take their form
Then crash back down on bone white sand
Wind howls, up palm trees
Forbidden treasure glints and gleams
Billowing sails catch the wind
A rickety boat rides the waves
Its tossed and turned
And pummelled and pounded
Right back down to soft white sand
Two black boots
Jump on down
A crinkled map is clutched In hand
An x splashed on in ****** red
Will lead the boots to jewels and gems
Shadow Mar 2020
The sky is dark
The streets are empty
My nights are lifeless
Shadow Mar 2020
To fight till last with no tomorrow's store,
They bicker loud and bite amongst themselves
And chew upon the papered spoils of war.
The panic breeds! A newer virus spawns:
Contagious fear, no mask could filter out
And sends them running fierce; it's frantic pawns,
'Till barest bares the shame to linger 'bout.
As paper, food depletes it's end of day;
Disgruntled many leave and wane their shop
With curse upon their lips, here not to say!
Then back again new beasts that cannot stop.

Yes I proclaim here's me: oh the wiser!
'Wait, No! Hands off, that's my sanitiser!"
Shadow Mar 2020
stuck on a fence
decisions unmade
I wish the whole thing
from my mind would fade

I try to forget
it's what I do best
can't make it work
I think I'm depressed

can't seem to pick up
the phone like I should
not getting things done
truly wishing I would

what's the matter with me
why am I like this
could be low feelings
yes, something's amiss

evidence mounting
for me it's come clear
my mood is killing
much I hold dear

I'll give it some time
but not a whole lot
if this continues
I must see the doc
Shadow Mar 2020
It's not that

I need someone,

It's just

The wanting to

Share the

Beauty I see and

The insight sealed.

To see someone's

Face light up,

Shining back

With glee,

Embracing being

In front of

Life's

Mysteries.
someone to share some memories with :)
