My Shadow Leaves Me Alone Poem by Abdul Wahab

My Shadow Leaves Me Alone

Rating: 5.0


When I need light
The wind blows the lamp out

Every one leaves me
When I need them most

In my ups and down
I get along with me
Only my shadow

On a test I put him
And light a cigar in my mouth

he is still with me
and imitates all my activities
without any mistake

it draws the ring
even the smoke
perfectly

but alas!
he fails to show
the fire

the reflection of the mind

he fails to brush
the pain of my soul

he runs his lips
and sings the songs of sorrow

but alas!
where is the sound?

in the valley of silence
I am misunderstood and bitterly alone

The like-mindedness of people in the present world scenario are based on conditions.Thats the reason the shadow leaves you alone.Sometimes people do get a soulmate though not always in life.A very inquisitive write Sir, first of its form.

i read somewhere: Expect the unexpected...and expect nothing even from your shadow...the plight in the poem is not because of shadow's leaving you....but your reliance on it....the poem is giving a feeling...! ! ! ! !
