.. From afar I view you there starting to cry
from within these silent and still shadows I write
you are my muse Never seen am I
From within your happiness and beneath your tears
I have drowned within your loneliness
and I have ran from your fears
yet my love for you is never seen
as I remain where I have been
I am beneath your feet and soaring the night sky
The World is my muse
a poet in the shadows Am i

we each find our own muse , or insperation , some of us find it in our selves and people we know , some find it in nature ... yet I find my muse to be The world ... everything about it holds a key to my works , from relations , to people I dont know , from nature , to the unknown ... The stars above and the earth below have even inspired some words written from the soul...
...yet i shall reamin unseen as I write
For a poet living in the shadows am I

interesting
i agree with others when they say that the author notes bring it all together. continue to add that little bit. writing from others points of view helps to see things clearer from others. sure you know what i mean. -
Well, I popped over here to read some of your poems like you asked me too, I came across this one and I like it ^.^ Good job.
-
wow. i'm honestly speechless and you know how hard it is to do that to me. the last lines were the best part and the author's notes brought it all together. you're a great writer brent. i encourage you to keep writing, for every piece you create is a masterpiece. keep up the great work.

SOOO unique!
I read the author's notes as well, and I think you should've included them in the poem! They state a good point! If you had simply phrased them in there a little bit differently, it would've worked out great... still, awesome write!!!

brings tears to my eyes

this is good and reminds me of how shy we all were when we began our creative writing skills.
In due time you will blossom and come out to be seen when you are ready, till then keep writing and allowing us to read.

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
It's soft and so sweet; it flows very nicely. I love how it speaks of standing on the outside, watching everthing and letting everything inspire you.
