Shadows Poem by Raj Thampi

Do not fret
It’s my love eternal
Shaped into a shadow
-Falling everywhere you move.

Do not hate
It’s my evil charm always
Present behind
-Your nervous gestures.

Do not be afraid
It’s my presence
Deny me not
-And I shall not hurt you.

Do not hide
I am your beginning, and end
And escape
-You cannot, forever.

Do not deny me
Reject those arms wrapping
-Shadow your, I will, hurt you

And you have no choice
No choice, but to wait
Till our shadows turn identical
-And withdraw into us.
