THE SHADOWS OF LOVE Lurk you silently in the shadows And find solace in empty dreams For this - your world - is real No one will hear your screams Your love was never meant to be Was just a Manifestation, a Thought An idle fancy risen in your mind Destined to come to naught You lost yourself in unreality You conjured up a lost love that Was born long before you could see The scornful smiles of them who sat Like God’s appointed judges to pass Judgement on what you yourself did not Understand, comprehend or even grasp For it wasn’t real - only a Thought It did not matter that you lived it Nor that only the unreal was true Nor that your world was only built By shadow bricks that He Himself drew Out of the long forgotten past To wake you from your restless sleep To take you to the day you last Buried that visage in your soul so deep That aeon’s could not make you forget The shadows embedded in your heart Since the day they took him away and You, your celestial search did start Across the emptiness of boundless time Till one day you saw him and knew That you had to be born again to be Part of him - and to earth you flew Were born once again in human form But while you wallowed in childish mirth Thru’ the long years of growing since Into this world you took your birth Before your last journey to him could start He had left unknowing for a distant shore And the shadows etched within your soul Dimmed, yet somehow you to him, they bore Despite that, they should have faded Should have forever cut themselves out From your loving heart by time so jaded And put your hopeless love to rout But they hung on in the hidden depths Brought you softly to his strangers door And departed forever - their task done To leave you with him for evermore But the twisted paths you had to tread While crossing the vastnesses of space Had linked this, your earthly existence To facts you could not - but had to face So lurks your love in deepest shadows Hiding its face in darkness profound Suffering the buffets of destiny’s blows Till the end of this penultimate round Till both are united once more forever And they, who, on you invectives hurled, Maybe they too, shall be your lovers When understanding fills the world.

Deepak, this was phenomenal. The principles behind it and the way you put it. Maybe thats more common than we know, and plays a part in our inability to have what we want and need. Great job, made me think a lot. Cat... "If a man moves you to feel like a woman, the least you can do is let him." Merrit Malloy |

Dear Spitfire and Cat, Thanks - and Perhaps there is always a story behind us that maybe we dont know about - I believe that some things existed before time was born and we are in many ways enmeshed in that unknown past... Deepak |
