dark shadows ...

in a dark place where no one should roam alone

i walk searching, searching for the unknown

with wounds carved deep in me

i roam restless through the endless night....

my friend and my foe is one and the same

the night that clawed the night that healed..

night my lover and my killer...

i wait in the shadows peering at nothing

it pulls at me ,it calls to me seductively

something about it lures me like a piper's tune

shadows all around come to me 

among them is the dark one that lures me more

it pulls me with an invisible rope

consumes me becomes a part of me 

there is nothing i can do

i am held captive by these shadows

i try to break free but they pull me even more

i wait for the day hopelessly 

the day that never seems to come...

I simply love and adore this poem....
"something about it lures me like a piper's tune"--- good example of simile..
"my friend and my foe is one and the same"- its always so....

Only those with deep carved wounds can search the unknown...search the missing links of life... the meaning of solitude....

You are too good..... good work here.
