Untitled

As the creeping doubt
Draws shadows of trees
Onto my mind’s canvas,
I silently look away,
Wishing the water’s reflection
Could distract me.

Rippling across the surface;
Distorting what I see.
The inkwell’s matte mirror
Changing what I’m to be.

I’m tired. And a bit sad. But who cares? At least I’m writing it out.

Palm Tree

A richest mother,
who let
her children suffer,
she is, a tallest
than a tallest Palm
and Dates trees,
For those
who are near,
her shadow is useless,
And those,
who are very far
benefitting massively.

It's my richest and,
a giant mother

your shadow, i found,
was still clearer then your face.

Abandonment

When I put out the light
They all take flight
Even my shadow leaves at night
This is my plight

shadows

our shadows mature
faster than us,
curve towards the light
edges sharp fringes of
empty pomegranate shells
and even when the night consumes them
they wait beside us.

Darkness

In the night so dark and back ,
where shadows hide and goblins play.
The hearts of all black souls do lie,
in shrouds of darkness do they hide.
Webs of lies are spun and plans are hatched
and poisons mixed, by deed and word
beget the evil men and women do.
For money, love, war and greed.

the worst of humanity summed up in darkness that hides in the light of day and often goes unseen.

Passion and Fire

Two Hearts in Love,
on a Night that was Cold.
We're searching for a Place,
for their Feelings to Unfold.
They perched Themselves,
on a Mountain Top.
Love began to Flow,
as their clothes began to Drop.
Their naked Shadows,
on a Moonlit Night.
Poured Passion and Fire,
till the Dawn of Light.
Midnight Romance,
has a Touch of Class.
Especially when your Bed,
is made up of Grass.

s h i n e

i do not want you
to try to complete
each missing part of me
to make me perfect for you
i want you
to see me perfectly flawed
lost pieces and all
and still want
to light up my darkest shadows
enough to outshine
each star in the sky.
