~Shadow Touching~  you reach out...grasping at nothingness as a shadow touching that which it cannot feel wanting that which it cannot possess longing to hold onto something...anything yet, as sand, sifting through the fingers all reality slips away into emptiness darkness swallows the void shadows meld into ebony abyss no longer reaching...slowly fading...gone but never forgotten ~vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his |

very cool use of imagery, color and vocabulary to create this mood.. haunted and aching... youre showing us so many different facets of your poetry...from cow-comedy to dark emote.. very cool  I know no one is to blame |

Shadows like dreams... fleeting things that give a hint of wishes or desires. Substantial... maybe.. but not obviously, yet obviously memorable. Shadows and light, binary opposites cannot exist without the other.. as we cannot exist without our dreams.. our wishes.. our shadows. |
