THE SHADOW

the dark hallways with glints of sunlight
the sun's shining rays casts a path
bodies moving in one direction
stale, sterile and depression.
skirts willowing in the windy breeze
hair flying like the birds
piling thoughts and recalling names
routine, a ritual and very mundane.
as a shadow i will take my flight
amongst them like a butterfly through the branches
as a shadow i will flutter amongst the leaves
as a shadow i fell in love with light
something forbidden even to my sight
as a shadow i remain forgotten in memory
i remain being lost alone
basking in my life when my love arrives and dark and subdued when my love leaves....
a shadow that knows its love would never be right
because shadows are interdicted to love light.
