Shadowing my very existence
Weighing down my thoughts
Turning my face
Hiding from the inevitable
But never being able
To escape
You try to mask your intentions
Shed a new light
I evade your trickery
Throughout the dark night
Lurking, but never touching
Secrets eluding my grasp
Taunting me from a distance
Creeping on the edge of my conscience
You chain me and keep me
But stay in the shadows
Never truley in the light

Interesting take on the image prompt.. It seems all entries using this image are "out of the ordinary" lol
Nice.. though I do not really feel it is about death.. though with poetry there are different interpretations..
anyways, i like it and i thank you for using one of my images as your prompt.. so keep on writing, hope you enter again and good luck.
(if you enter again, please let me know)

great job
An air of mystery sensing lonliness and sorrow. A love gone bad or one that never was. Either way wonderful in a haunting way. leaving one to feel a little uneasy.
Bravo! Best of luck to you and thanks again, Boog
