Shadow Things/By Sami Khalil

I live in the shadows of life and death…A mystery and suspense Autumn poem…

The Poem:

He inhaled autumn upon gaily trespassing of golden celebrations,awakening urban legends.

To the winds, emboldened by misty silences, burbled the fallen round placed edges and ears.

Maddening were the shadows in slow motions, carting weathered bricks of spying moods.

Notable we darken the eyes, as past legends has inscribed all in the book of the rising fog rolls.

He came to live in the vestiges of scarlet biographies, extending the mysteries of godly anticipations.

Those standing silhouettes, slumbered apart crestfallen souls, flaming true forms; the apocalypses of mortal lethargy.

A formless matter he was, in the cages of captive suns, bonding the chains of free words.

Never he found growth, except in death or rebirth of raving souls,

for positive were the credits when their peace shivered

And negative were the quotes of dreamy killers, who left behind the shadows I am!

You have come a long way of genesis… to the unfiltered judgment.

"to the unfiltered judgment"

i really like that...there is a really haunting quality to this...encompasses all we love about autumn...the turning, halloween with all the restless spirits roaming the earth...

the raving souls...so dark so Poe-like...the dreamy killers die a thousand deaths as the leaves fall.

mystically mournful and mysterious...

Romantic love can be a bit of the macabre at time, without the blood and gore of course. A spellbinding piece.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. Thank you so much beloved poet for this lovely review and kind gestures. Many and many blessings...:).............

[Stonz P.]

This has a good natural flow to it and intrigues the reader to imagine more and more "to the unfiltered judgement" as it progresses.
Glad you stopped by, Sir.

[Sami Khalil]

I have not before seen autumn viewed in this fashion, but I like it. Lurking in the shadows it creeps up on us without fanfare or nise, depleting the scenery of all we had come to know of summer. I really enjoyed this today.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. So thankful to you dear poet for the visit and the lovely appreciation. Many rich blessings...:).......

Stellar work Sami. I agree with Jacob. I too caught that chill of the supernatural in this one. It has a shadow, a pallor, the words do. Well done
