Shadow Poem by Shikha Singh

Beware! you’re not alone....
Ever surrounded by a shadow that's unknown...

Bewitching and enticing...
Over brooding and penetrating.....
Ruling every breath and every will
Beware! coz it intends to kill! ! !

Silently creeping inside every vain.....
Leaving behind a bitter-sweet pain!
Momentarily changing agony into joy.....
Playing with the heart as a mute toy...

The mind 'n' body become it's slave
Overwhelmingly invites it to the cave........
Deep down 'n' down it'll make you fall....
Slowly...slowly....it'll take your peace...
mind.....heart....oh! it'll take all!

No matter how hard you try....
one can never escape.....
There's one shadow for each of us
Who we are eager to ape! ! ! ! ! ! !

The dreams it promises are nothing but illusions....
It only takes us away from are path to salvation........
Our own dreams it just engulfs...
and leave behind shadows who never looks above..........
