vs. Me (Sestina)
I am your Shadow
Of your life I dance the Music.
Hold to promise, for I feed on Fear.
However much I crave the Light,
Around you I creep in silence.
It is for you I Love
For a taste of your Love,
I shall forever be your Shadow.
Why do you now still in Silence?
In your heart, can you not hear the Music?
Can you not see my inner Light?
Please do not run in Fear!
Now Fear,
What I Love.
My eyes full of Light;
Dark colours have spread a Shadow.
Yet hear still the Music,
I reply with Silence.
In Silence,
There is no Fear.
This is my own brand of Music.
I Love
With only a Shadow
Fallen from the Light.
Among mirrors and Light
Of delusional Silence,
I cast long my Shadow.
All who enter Fear.
No one could ever Love
My own genre of Music.
Isolation forced off my Music.
There I found a different Light,
A self-true Love.
In serene Silence,
I turn without Fear,
To behold my own Shadow.
Within my Shadow, within my Music
I no longer Fear my Light
Shining from the Silence of self Love.
