SHADOWS AND LIGHT

this is a poem written during a time of emotional dilemma when right seemed wrong and wrong seemed even more suppressing.

 

                 SHADOWS AND LIGHT   

 

 

I lift my head to the shadows of the light

So true that there will be evil where there is good

The brightness just pinches my eyes

I flee to the darkness, its serenity like a magnet

But I know this is wrong, being in darkness for long

Going into the light is only escape.

I try to flee but it pushes me back

Because I’m blinded by its glare, it’s a curse to be in there,

It burns my soul.

 

 I weigh my choices, they’re much the same

Both give me solace, both give me pain

It’s like they’re tearing up my heart and Lord! It does hurt,

When smiles become poison and love becomes a curse.

 

Smiles like shadow, love like light

Equally deceitful, but with equal delight,

Like the door to the devils womb,

Secure and cornered but burning from the inside.

 

 

 

So no need to take either of the stands

You are safe only in the no man’s land

Light will burn you and shadow will freeze

You will find true serenity, when your searching will cease.

 

 

So lift your head up to the shadows of the light

And push them both away with your might

Because crimson love will only kill

And smiles will slit you at every sight…
