“Shadows Against The Wall” Silently darkness seeps through my window Everything that was once there Burning fire warm Table… chest of drawers Now only shadows against the wall Dreams of yesterday Melancholy and sinister Established the hour For everything High buildings of hope get demolished everyday And all that remains Another shadow against the wall Trumpets and cymbal predict The end of it all Love is the fire of foreplay But end up in a law court Because Love now only A shadow against the wall Dressed in black or white No matter what Wondering How long joy could last Living head over heels Helter sKelter… Stop banging like a bull at the gate Life Still remains Only a shadow against the wall Longing to love… And enjoy head over heels Because coffin is waiting As life in only A shadow against the wall Silently Darkness seeps through window now wet Fire gets another piece of wood To heat the coldness within As mind walks an unknown path Of unknown lands As the Universe Becomes Just a shadow against my wall A flickering shadow Comes alive Within each teardrops Of D E S P E R A D O Copyright © 2005 Tinka Boukes

This is great! As long as we are able to see our own shadows on the wall, the other shadows, someday will take substance and love will shine, where rain once fell...

Impressive..."darkness seeping through a window now wet...", rain mocking your tears. "Everything that was once there, now shadows on the walls..." No one can write angst like you, Tinka...

Wonderful piece of poetry. These look like the lyrics to a song you have written. Dark and deep from the gut.
