Disclaimer: This has nothing to do with me. I'm not lonely! :P
I was all alone, drowned in solitude, engulfed in my blues,
And I failed to see all those beautiful hues.
I was safe! Huddled with myself in my heavy silence,
I believed it was my prudence.
Darkness glowed everywhere,
There wasn’t but a single flare.
I fell in love with the shadow,
Everything else I forgo.
But my soul began to ache with the gloom,
I was digging up my own tomb.
There was a longing to break out of that dark shell,
And unknown to me it wanted to rebel.
I saw a hand reaching out to me,
Which, all this while I was blinded to see.
It was the ray of hope, and that of joy,
That called on me to open up and enjoy.
Sunshine burst in through that little rift,
And spread out quick and swift.
I wanted to rein that destined throne,
Though in the end, I knew, I will be all alone.
Not much of a painting, but it's mine!
coming to the poem -
"I fell in love with the shadow,
Everything else I forgo."
these lines are so expressive; I see it as falling in love with your only true companion and a very real one. beautiful!
The flower signifies the longing to move out of the shadow
Neways, its the artist's thought that matters... ;)
I am glad it made you think of something.. Everybody's perception is different :)
