If this is not a prose and you are using shadow figuratively then I have no problem with that because it could mean a lot of things to different folks. But, if you are questioning what shadow is literally then you need to read up on opaque and if that is not sufficient for your understanding of how shadow is cast you can use common sense to decipher that it is due to thick layer of wall the light cannot penetrate and it disperses through the sides taking the shape of the image to form the shadow. 'Darkness spreads its cloak, those shifty companion are no more ' part reveals the shadow is dark therefore cannot be seen in darkness.

This is merely playing on words or creative use of words to express a common phenomenon and how it relate to real-life idea is something I can not wrap my head over in this post though. This is much ado about nothing in a nutshell.

Thank you.

Curtain Call
by Tex

Where does Life get off, playing such cruel tricks on unsuspecting hearts?! What's the deal with "Timing" too? These two delinquents shouldn't be allowed to stand in the wings heckling the players and tripping up Fate.

How is one expected to hit their mark night after night while Heckle and Jeckle sneak about dripping chaos in their wake? It's just not fair that We should be exposed to such devilish behavior.

I protest! Something must be done to curtail this mischief. Let us lower the boom on their heads and draw the curtains on these hooligans! Drop the curtain on the duo's shenanigans, sweep the stage and shut the lights.

We'll show them the door, and good riddance too! We're not gonna take it anymore. "See here, you two! Stop this ruckus right this instant! Imagine the audacity, the shear disregard for others? I demand action!

Let them be banned from this "auditorium" and left to dance for change in the streets. NO! Such insolence can only be recompensed by their swift and ignominious demise!

Rally the company! The final act is upon us mates. "Break a leg" as they say in "the biz", or better yet, break theirs! Gather round players, it's the last curtain call.

*faints*

The Stars Have All Gone Out
by Tex


It is dark tonight. No dappled sky.
No stars to guide the Mariners way.
Cool breezes blow against pregnant sales as the vessel cuts smoothly through black seas.

She stands alone, searching the darkness ahead. No moonlight trickles across the water, as stoically, she presses on alone in her thoughts.

Amidship her crew waits, and still darkness reigns. Gliding onward, the vessel. Ever forward, no stopping. Chasing what once was.

The obsidian depths below and the pitch canopy above. In search of places that can't be found and things that can't be seen. Into the arms of obscurity.

Never to sail this way again. No ocean breeze against her skin. Nothing to do. Nothing to say, as she crosses into this realm. Resigned---for death is at the helm.

Crystal Containers and Morning Dew
by Tex

Some things just make everything better. The smell of fresh backed bread. Birds singing outside your window. Going back home. Hugs and kisses. Puppies and morning dew on the grass.

If only we could bottle smiles, and wrap laughter up in ribbons and bows. Couldn't we "can" the feeling of loves first kiss, and collect the sparkling gems of morning dew on the grass?

What if faith, hope, love and charity dangled from the branches of trees? Heavily laden boughs genuflect in respect to the morning dew on the grass.

Perhaps peace could flow through the breeze and brush the faces of those in need. Floating on gossamer wings over the morning dew on the grass.

A place where love flows like a river and finally dumps all into an ocean of pain, as it spreads it's gift. Then evaporates and forms morning dew on the grass.

Don't underestimate the power of the crystalline morning dew on the grass.

Insecure Heart
by Tex


Sometimes confusion comes a calling,
And I can't help myself asking.
It's come to me before, this need to know.
Like the wind, this feeling continues to blow.
Can't I just, in my bed, stay till tomorrow sprawling?


No! I need to move, even if I am only crawling.
Whatever tomorrow brings, you won’t find me falling.
Here on the quay, adorned uniformly and feeling hollow.
Into this ship, can I continue to follow?
I look up ahead, can I honestly say it is appealing?


Will I choose to stay here while my heart is aching?
I've chanced this way before, even then I felt it was breaking.
Along the way often I pray, even though...
Shall I, in this line stay, even with all I know?
Shall I remain, still clinging?


It seems I'm not good at all this bi-standing.
Lately I find myself ill content and demanding.
For I want the light to continue to show,
But right now it refuses to glow.
While my spirit watches; crying.


Why do I feel so dubious,
And why have I become so anxious?

Steady My Heart
by Tex



Afraid to move forward
~Transfixing
The world keeps turning
But I'm frozen in time.


Distance and uncertainty
~Reaching
These walls they are high
Are you willing to brave them?


You sing to my soul
~Awakening
Your symphony beckons me
But my past keeps getting in the way.


Stubborn heart
~Melting
Standing here waiting
For what seems like a lifetime.


Fanning the flames
~Desiring
I can't stop this feeling
It's burning out of control.


Holding my breath
~Wanting
Stampeding heart
Longing for your touch.


Daydreams like moving pictures
~Promising
Visions we continue to make
Sight beyond years partaking.


My heart in your hand
~Believing
Fragile dreams caught
A river of tears flowing.


Through rose petals and covenants
~Gliding
Till the day after eternity breaking
Write your name on my heart taking.

Time Is Love
by Tex

If you want to give me something,
give me your time.
If you want to show me you treasure me,
give me your time.
If you want to show your love,
give me your time.
If you truly love me,
please, give me your time.
Time is love
Give it to me and I am yours eternally.

Time is life

A Mothers View
by Tex

The scenes of my life float lazily
Past the windows of my mind,
Stirring memories of days gone by in
Vivid color and panoramic views.

Carefree forays with those I love,
Like moving pictures imprinted on my heart,
In a milieu of affection over time
And throughout eternity.

A realm where love is spoken and
Abides by laws written in hugs and
And kisses for scraped knees
And broken hearts.

Episodes performed in the guise of
Big green eyes and bouncy curls,
Mischievous freckled cheeks
And platinum blonde hair.

A spectacle of boisterous laughter,
And oceans of tears cried into the
Bosom of unconditional love
And steadfast devotion.

Throughout; settings change and
Characters come and go,
Drama ebbs and flows
As a new life begins.

For my part, I eagerly await
Seasons to come
And the introduction of
"New" characters.

Amore Vivit
by Tex

Love is not silent. It speaks gently to our hearts and to our minds. The language of love can only be understood when in action. It is like a play whose actors have fully committed themselves to their individual parts.

Love has the patience of Job and the strength of Samson. Yet it is as fragile as a baby bird, and can be left bloodied and broken upon the ground if not cared for.

Love is bound by hard work and sacrifice. It is strengthened by compassion and long suffering. It chastises when necessary, yet knows when influence is more prudent.

Love guides and teaches by example.
It is selfless in giving. Yet It can be ravenously selfish with Time. It is generous with appreciation and stingy with criticism.

Love needs daily sustenance. The grass isn't greener on the other side of the fence. It is greener where we water it. Love is alive in all who nourish it.

Poetry in motion
by Tex


Poetry is the ability to ferry others across the river of emotion.
To transport them to wherever and whenever the words flow.

Poetry is a sentient being.
It speaks to our hearts and to our minds in innumerable ways, and through countless modes of thought.

Poetry is a signpost in a multicolored array.
It guides us along life's emotional highways and byways, as we travel in our sensory powered vehicles.

Poetry is life itself.
It breathes into our souls and takes us to places we never dreamed of, and sometimes shows us our worst nightmares.

Poetry is an old and dear friend.
It is loyal and kind, but also knows when to chastise. It keeps us sane when all the world has gone crazy.

Poetry sings.
It's rhythmic lines ebb and flow to the beat of our individual drummer, and caries us away in that moment.

The Wind Knows My Name
by Tex


The wind knows my name.
Its lonesome cries fill my days,
And haunt my nights.
I feel its sorrow
Like warm breath against my cheek.


The wind knows my name.
I hear its whispers
Like the Whippoorwill at dusk
Stirring memories best forgotten,
Churning emotions best left behind.


The wind knows my name.
Like dried leaves in the fall,
It blows across infinite time
And endless space carrying secrets
Never to be revealed.


The wind knows my name.
It picks me up and sweeps me away
In a vortex
Beyond oblivion and
Past the pain of this life.


The wind knows my name.
Like the Sirens' song,
It sings to my soul.
Summoning me.
Tempting me.


The wind knows my name
And it calls to me.

Let It Be Me
by Tex

If darkness falls upon your heart,
Let me be your light.
When you've lost your way,
I will come for you.
Let it be me

When you need a shoulder to lite upon,
I pray it's mine.
When you've had all you can take,
I will comfort you.
Let it be me

When your strength is gone,
I'll be the rock that steadies you.
When you feel all alone,
These arms will reach for you.
Let it be me

When your faith is slipping away,
I will believe in you.
When you are alone,
I'll be there for you.
Let it be me

When you wish upon a star,
I'll bring it down to you.
When you are in need,
I'll give to you.
Let it be me

When you forget you are loved,
I will remind you.
When no one else is around,
Look up...I'll be with you.
Let it be me

Let me be the one you call.
I'll be there for you.
