The Shadow Poem by Jean Eugene Guan

You cast that shadow,
A certain blow on my head.
The gun whose trigger pulled
Had devoured me from living to dead.
Your name is all remembered,
It was etched in my heart with a Swiss knife.
It cuts out the love that was reverberating,
The hope of you to be my wife.

The earth shattered under me,
My lips had no words spoken,
But my heart had told you everything.
How you made a man so broken.
You brought changes, the fire,
You brought the flame of warmth,
And you made me feel so much,
That no other feelings require.

You have your shadow above me
In my heart your total eclipse.
In my mind your umbra,
And in my kiss your lips.
You are my rejuvenation,
With a look upon your face
You take all the blues away.
You brought all that I wanted,
And there's nothing more for me to say.
