Fate

Fate

A Poem by Jason Shadows
"

Of You.

"
"Does The Darkness Draw You In The Window?
 Does The Light Fill In The Bright Color Of You?
 How Can I Catch You If You Run Away From Your Shadow?
 How Can I Hold You If You Keep Disappearing From My View?
 Just Escape Your Love Into My Soul.
 Just Live Your Life In My Control.
 Let Go Of Your Heart And The Key.
 Let Me Unlock It And Finally Feel Free.
 Hoping For Air From Falling.
 Hoping For Relief From Bleeding.
 I Am Something Fell From Above.
 I Am Nothing Smothered Below.
 Kicking And Screaming.
 Chanting And Clawing.
 Devoted To Pain.
 Lost Within The Rain.
 I Am Hope And Despair.
 I Keep Reaching For Someone Like You So Rare. 
 I Am Love And Hate.
 I Keep Holding On To You Cause You Are My Fate."

You captured my attention and held it from the very first line. Excellent imagery, filled you true emotion. Makes each indivisial reader feel as if it is them you are speaking to. You my new friend have a MAGICAL PEN!!!

Such fine writing. The line 'just live your life in my control' instead of ' just give your life in my control'...splendid.

I agree with the contrast and how you conveyed it with such poetic flair. An enjoyable read. I think my fave stanza is the second one. Just two teeny weeny tidbits as far as my personal reading and the rythm as I was going along: I Keep Reaching For Someone Like You Who Is So Rare. "Is" could be taken out without missing anything. ?? Just a very small thought. Other than that, beautiful writing.

i always enjoy a contrast; a balance of both light and dark - the everything and nothing - its the journey of our fate or chance :)
