The Huntress

Escorting me everywhere

With an aura of darkness,

Mimicking my bearing,

My gesture and my velocity.

Relieve her, I cannot.

She’s adhered to my spirit,

Leaching my emotions,

Yearning for dominion.

My shadow, so still

Whenever I’m rooted,

Seemingly harmless,

But I assure you she’s not.

Whispering in the silence,

Mocking through the wind,

Vanishing from my vision

To return with sudden malice.

I resist its temptation,

The pull towards its level,

Longing for lower ground

To entwine with my body.

This reflection of obscurity,

It’s lingering in the darkness,

Stalking my presence,

Awaiting my submission.

Nice shadow poem...I love the imagery and the sense of haunting. One line seemed off to me - Reliever her, I can not.. The meaning eluded me but it was just that one line...overall a wonderful write. Also, "cannot" is a compound word. :-)
