Boxing Shadows

by Kevin   Jan 24, 2005


I'm crying for myself
salty tears
for bygone years
when i was a man of stone

cold and hard
intensely dark
utterly alone

I was back then
a thing of glass
transparent in the light
friends asking "how'd you do?"
could've saved their breath
and looked straight through

but....
I've come back brighter
sarcastic
but lighter
against myself always a fighter

Ego's sinking with enlightened thinking
a chance through trance
my soul I'm linking

    I seriously think I have read this before... maybe I have, just haven't commented on it yet.
    From the poems of yours I've read so far, this is by far my favourite one of yours. Your first stanza was the best, it gave a great introduction to it.
    ... I have no helpful critizism. But thankyou stacks for your comment on my poem- made me smile. :-)
