Stalking Shadows

by Richard Machado   Aug 21, 2007


Where in the world
Can you find what you love;
Have it uncorrupted;
Have it for sure, or
Have it as a cure
For the nights spent alone;
For all the days left ungrown.

Where can I go where I know
My weakness flows;
Where I see what's inside of me,
And, have it be true; Blasphemy.
What I ask of me, too much;
And, of you; not enough.

Not a place I've been,
Where my bad luck hasn't followed.
Not a one I've known,
Where it hasn't shown;
And, all my life that will be known
There it will be, to claim stake to my home.

Forever strown thin, and, for all, alone within.

    Another good poem. Wonderfully written as well. I love how you asked questions because it gets the reader involves the reader. I also loved the ending. 5/5

    Keep it up && Take care!
