I walk in your shadow
casted away by fallen
light that only has
room for one
I dance to moonlight
and hold a tune
till midnight
and still walk while
dancing in shadows of you
when i try to find
my way
i turn another page
and read those lines
i have have read
one hundred times again
the release is slow and painful
but the shadow soon fades
with you beside my only
side and finally I have a face
a name can also
give me strength
the strength that has become me
to find myself once again
is somewhat of a miracle
i lost touch with the ones
i loved to the shadow that
is dying but you'll see friend
i will come again
with a face and a smile
that will be smiling.

Chris,

I read this posting with interest but found it hard to follow. Was this intentional? Poets are indee passionate people....riding the lows as well as the highs.

I think it was midnight or something
when I wrote this one & Phoebe.  I was
drinking a little wine & I don't think
it was intentional to get "u" lost.  After
waking up it is hard follow isn't it.
Anyway, not my best free verse neither is
Phoebe.  Phoebe is true life..

Well, maybe I am still sleeping cause as I read this out load to myself I thought it was just fine, and I really liked the way you took me through this journey, anyway maybe I'll wake up tonight.
