Chasing Shadows Date: Friday, 1st April 2011 @ 04:27:34 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: northernlights Love’s elusive shadow, Hands reach out in pain. Endless voices echo, Flesh against the rain. Hidden voices whisper, The ticking hands of time. A cup to be held for a moment, A warm and mellow wine. A heart so full of longing, No tender touch to miss. As slowly flesh awakens, To greet a lovers kiss. Shadows pass to darkness, A mask, revealing lust. A satiated devil sneers! As dreams turn to dust. Sorrow whispers softly, as yearning fills the heart. The actress in life’s malady, , Declines to take a part.
