Shadows Of Doubt

I watch the darkness falling down
And hills that's withdrawing their shadows
And the beautiful sunset


Like ochre reddens in color
The birds are at rest for the night
The sea breezy still and silently whispers
Above me there are mad bats flying around
Now that the lights are lit
I fear the lurking thieve of my heart
Who seek its prey like a cruel hunter
Here there are no forest just longing
And the dust from the lonely dirt road
It looks like smoke in drifting clouds
Here are no rivers to shelter my wounds
Or to harbor my flowing tears
There are only other people
Jostling home from some nearby shebeen
Herded by dusk together
I have been waiting for you for so long
And you did not come
Where have you been all this time?
My heart is breaking into million pieces
How can I handle this alone
Is this the way it has to be
My eyes are searching for you
Every pedestrian or stranger
Or even a traveler a maybe… that’s you
But no one see you walking in my mind
Are you here or are you that far away
Maybe that’s why I can’t see you here
Without any shadow of doubt
You do live within my heart
Forever and for eternity
Like a shadow
You cover
Me

Soemetimes are we are allowed is a whisper, a glimpse of love.... real in our hearts yet just short of our grasp... Tremdous insightful write.... you just get better and better at revealing deep emotional and inner feelings.

"I fear the lurking thief of my heart"

Oh dear Tinka, don't we all!

Through all this chaos your ability to write has not been affected in the least. You know ... personally I believe that you are a better writer.

I've only been here ten weeks though, so that statement is certainly relative.

Blessings to you ...
Richard
