Rhapshody of the Shadows....

Gazing at the darkened sky

the nameless shapes and the darkness around

I love this beauty; there’s no Why

It’s hidden charms and distant sounds.

I love the Shadows

I love this darkness

this quiet nocturnal sensuality

I love the Shadows

I love this caress

by its cool mysterious subtlety

It’s Black all around

Black- the unknown Invisible

the color of the Unexposed

the alluring beauty of the Unexplored

It’s the expression of pure silence

the essence of the Abstract;

It’s the ever-beckoning beauty of some untraceable ache.

Black-the Ultimatum of the Universe

-It’s the deepest point beneath

the Ocean yet unsighted-

-The farthest corner of the spiralling galaxy

with unending attraction

but too distant for revelation

-It’s the unfathomable depth

of the Intensity in Your eyes-

-It’s the deepest dark secret

in the most private layers of the mind-

-It’s the unasked question within

whose answer I seek

not knowing yet where again

as I trudge through empty rooms…

Bathed in the black of the midnight

I watch the shadow stealing the lights

But I love this Shadow

I love this blackness

and its seducing blanket of solitude

Every being’s become a shadow at this hour

-and it’s my time of seclusion from the world

from all its insincerity and rotten pretence

the exhibition of the so-called ‘selflessness’.

It’s my time to devote to my passions

When I can be my own naked Self, laid bare

for an orgasm with my deepest emotions.

-away from the shallow laughs

and silly ways of ‘social’ men

their grinning teeth flashed to hide the bland, sceptical eyes;

eager to widen the circle of silly social ties.

So I love the Shadows

I love the nights like hell.

I need it to salvate my seething insides from screaming.

This is the time

-when the sapphire glows its most breathtaking blue-

-when a song from my lips resounds the most beautiful tune

When the stark gets overcome by the soulful-

And to let loose the most primitive,

Most blatant expressions of mine

From its rueful self-imposed bind.

In these Shadows

It’s time to vent out the strange ecstacy

At realizing the glory of existence

I could fight with my life and yet succeed;

That’s the absolute joy of being me.

In these Shadows

It’s again, my Undeniable hour

to unleash the Rage within:

At myself and the sleeping earth

For this lone existence in a hypocritical world.

And I love the Shadows

I just love this darkness

It’s my secret haunt,

My precious retreat

as needed as the Air I breathe…

I love the Shadows…
