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...

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

Wow! He inhaled the breath of the immortal soul rising from the mortality of materialistic or staggering life with a soul within it, welcomed autumn by trespassing as if he really aspired for that season. Really liked the phrase mortal lethargy to the life in this world, One can also perceive as a soul living for soul rather than enjoying the worldly dreams prior to physical death. Really thought provoking, so impressed to bring a mystic poem, congrats, keep on penning

Autumn can be a killer for many and so is your poem for readers like us but in opposite sense :) Keep penning on.

Sami, your mastery of words is a pleasure to read, but this one is ominous somehow. Did you intend this poem to have a dark side?

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. Yes I did for I was feeling like Poe with the change of the season soon from summer to autumn. I like to create in different genres too. Have a great one dear poet...:).......................
