ROOM OF SHADOWS

In the room of shadows 
You can never really be sure 
If something is there 
They just melt into the shadows
And disappear
They fade into the grasping hands 
That glance across the walls 
Spreading darkness to everything 
And everyone
Until 
It all dissolves
And the memories
The beautiful triumphs
And failures 
That have built up
For eons and eons 
And EONS
Are the only shadows
That we can't see.

    you are not you. 

    you are what i think
    alas i refuse to admit i am wrong.
    what can i say?
    i love this version of you 
    he is kind and sweet and loving 
    so very beautiful.
  • Slippery slope

    The way is harsh
    The light is dim
    And we forget to celebrate love
    Instead condemning faultless faults and forged sins
    We sit in silence
    Festering in our lack of empathy 
    Or we stand and scream because still we are not heard
