The Reason

The Reason

A Poem by Jason Shadows
"

To Keep Looking.

"
"Candle fire zooms light into the darkness
 alluring your soul while making you breathless. 

 Pulling into the devouring love enriching us
 takes way into this bleached covered lust.

 Immortalize the documented right to fall 
 into an endless analysis folding to a crawl. 

 Feeling fear drenches the emotion to reach
 for hope falling into desire bleeds the leech. 

 Books pileup the knowledge in front of you
 calling and dressing the temptations in view.

 The dark casts the escape for your heart 
 cascading light to break the haunting apart.

 Do you really think you could run from me?
 i'm forever and within this ambitious decree.

 Gather you recollections and enter my domain 
 step lightly into the dead that remains in chains.

 Scary it could be but this realm is what you make
 leaving all those behind to have a date with a snake.

 Carve the reason you walk alone into discovering disaster 
 but you know it's the other reason you call me...master."

A reason to keep looking back over one's shoulders. Shivers! An intense and compelling write. To gather your recollections, we must. I am gripped by the image of being chained even after death. Much food for thought. Thank you for sharing. You are much appreciated and the excellence of your verse has been duly noted. Have a nice day!
