She is a Shadow |

Why does she torment me thus Unattainable to the last Always alone, and never us And time now fleeting fast No limits nor any constraints Sense of urgency knows no bounds A series of thrusts and feints To contain the feelings like hounds She comes and goes elusive seraph Always touching me yet a ghost Torturous smile in her laugh The thing that haunts me most Dark and darker still in the night Impervious to the foul waking dawn Whence like all dreams fade into light And leave me to somehow carry on She is a shadow that goes everywhere That is untouchable but still here we go Until she vanishes into the thin air I will surrender myself to her, my shadow |

I will surrender myself to her, my shadow.... ah yes, total surrender...I like that! sometimes being elusive can be fun and mysterious, got to keep a guy interested... ~ARH |

Whence like all dreams fade into light And leave me to somehow carry on There's a haunting sense of "inevitable"... in these lines and the poem as a whole... Very well written!! The phrase "foul waking dawn" really grabbed my attention... great play on words! |
