The Shadow Poem by kelvin karani

The Shadow

Rating: 4.0


I have been chasing
A shadow
Something temporarily existing
Tiring the marrow
My dreams of a good life
Idyllic inside and outside
So pure without strife
Were all incarnations of the shadow
Something that has left me hollow
I preferred the other in lieu of the self
I loved the shadow not substance
And that was my folly; my undoing.
Its cowardice not wisdom
To try to approach horizon.
