5 min poems - Shadows

 
O shadow

You keep track of me in the day
You stalk me in the night
Soothing my lonely figure
You leave me in the rain
Isolating me where there is no light
For your next meet, I am waiting
For a decent goodbye, I shall fight O shadow You keep me company Yet you are hollow...
Am I right?

The shadow of flowers

From where I lay, the flowers below me swing slowly
My hand, as it sinks down, into its own shadow, the shadow of flowers.
My hip points upwards towards the surface.
It’s far, and as I sink I lose the definition of sharper lines. On the metal, a shadow flickers, like a pedal of a flower, floating up there.
