Shadow

 

As a dark and depressing hollow veil,

it walks beneath me unaltered

It stalks when I move

Stays still with me too

The color I wear, my emotion, my thought
Hold same blank impervious gaze in it
Is it a reminder of an unhealed wound?

Or the fore teller of a looming catastrophe

In my lonely nights, there is a recurring illusion

of two gleaming eyes peering at me

Devilish smile and dark hands engulfing

As the last ray of light flickers and dies
 

But my spirit and faith still remain unbeaten

That which cannot be shaken

That which remains and battles
until the last ray of hope dies down..
