Shadows...Shadows...Shadows Poem by valsala shan

Shadows…. merging, shifting, slipping….
Slinking behind and swirling above this entity…
Sounds evade you as you become one with the chosen one…
A strangle-hold you loose upon your chosen one …
A hold that neither grips nor chafes its prisoner…


Shadows slowly bringing together, hands contorted, gripping…
Lingering in the dust of humanity, hovering in the realm of lucidity…
Humanity… lost in the shadows of the greater one..
Drunken with the powers of being the chosen one…
Eclipsed in this choke of insanity, shrunken into a corner..

Shadows….shadows…shadows..
You are there, waiting, watching and breathing….
