The Whisper from the Shadows


I am the whisper that lingers

in the wind

the smile

and the tears

that lye behind your eyes

the spark that ignites the flame

of desire and raw passion

that boils in the blood

making your heart

tick


I am the ground that you

walk upon

the dirt

from beneath your feet

sifting like sand

kicking back dust

by bringing up memories

of times gone by

with days from past

repeating itself


I am the shadow that lurks

in the corner

the remains of the doubt

that ruin lives

confusing the mind

while silently laughing,

the dark side of the moon

that dances in

the dark

it's devilish jig


But more importantly

I am a person

just like you

full of insecurities

but fighting none the less

for acceptance

at best

I am the whisper

that lingers in the shadows
