Where the Shadows Live

Where the Shadows Live

We pass through
walls
where the shadows
live
gray in candlelight
they sing songs
where the shadows
live
through the night long
we imagine
we are here
inside
plated glass
where light
does not penetrate
here where the shadows
live
dancing within mirrors
watching them
as they imagine
they what us
but here where the shadows
live
darkness shelters
and we dream
that here we will
stay
what the shadows
live

    There is some beautiful imagery (not sure that's the word I'm looking for here, but I'll use it anyway) in there, Dark Muse. I like the feelings it invoked.

    Thank you! It is a bit different than I usually write

    Really? I definitely would not have guessed. It has some darker overtones that you seem to have interjected quite well and seemed comfortable with.

    Yes the dark overstones is common in a lot of my work. But I tend to right in more of the style of the "romantics" with long fluid elegant verse. This is strcutured a bit more contempary than a lot of my usual writing.

    I see. Regardless, it is a beautiful piece!
