Shadows Poem by Barry Middleton

Shadows



shadows haunt my waking mind
I did create you and now in sleep
you come to stir my silent dreams
with wistful hope
that you might come to stand beside me

you come at dusk so seek me not
let you be a dream that I forgot
shadows run away upon the night
to leave the lonely dreamer
with his plight

do shadows tease just one
or every man
and since it's mine can I repeal its span
fantasies torture and never can they heal
but I am yet sole judge
to grant appeal
