you are always there
when i run to the light
you are licking at my feet

you are always there
when i've my back to the light
i can see you most clearly

you are always there
even in the dark of night
where you fall into all

you are always there
ever since my day of birth
i shall see you always

you are always there
connected at the feet we are
i shan't turn my back on you

you are always there
with narcissistic glee
i gaze forever into you

you are always here
my every shape and being you are
with my back to the light...
i shall provide you company
the light is not my form
my form is only you

This is a really harmonious poem Allan. I am in a bit of shock that no one had replied to it!!! Its funny I never actually thought about my shadow like that. A nice ode all the same.

As per usual, great work.

Nice one here.......



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Nice to see you scaled up in your poems...
I have to say that "the light is not my form
my form is only you" that was the best part of the poem and concluded with it made this poem all the better
keep searching for that light... it will construct beautiful poems..

I've never thought that about my shadow
I guess that's a good way of looking at it

What would this world be without shadows?  I don't know.  Not but seriously this is a very good piece.  I will admit I didn't know what you were talking about until the 4th stanza, though. ( I was thinking dog too   )  But any ways... Good job
