Shadows Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Shadows

Rating: 2.3


Image of a flying kiss from sun to the earth,
The shadow measuring an immeasurable worth.
Great love that has been passed on to the old lady,
O shy earth what do you hide below the berth?

You'll fail, yes you'll fail to hide it in your bosom
Soon your love will bloom in so many colors
And it will spread all over by the naughty air,
I am waiting for the sweet and lovely odors.

I'm waiting for the moon when there'll be no sun
Like sunlight, capable is the magnetic moonlight
Hidden in me are the tides to spread my touches
I am a touchable ocean of love but I lack sight

No I am not blind, I have closed my feeling eyes
I don't want any obstruction not even of flowers
A touch of sand, ignoring shadows-making skies
Shadows will interrupt love in my lovely bowers!

I hate shadows that are made by extremism but
To be an extremist in love I may rise like a tide
A love that is too transparent to form a shadow
A kiss on the windows' glass you on the other side!
