Unveiling the shadows..

The inspiration that gave birth to my blog's name

this is not perhaps the most obvious way to cite my reasons in reference to my choice of the blog's name. But do not be deceived, its still a very honest confession. for those who know me perhaps they will be able to interpret and those who do not are welcome to try. the poem speaks about me in a way and perhaps I perceive myself always  or like to as being a mystery, just out of reach, elusive and thus shadow girl.

p.s.  this is not one of my great poetic adventures ...only an example of ....when have i ever done things the conventional way.

Memories dance on the boulevard of  an era gone,

twist n twirl , skip n jump round n round all along…

a stranger stalks from far beyond the shackles of time,

                                staring at the ballerinas shift to tune of the chimes

 she rests in the arms of a cold mist,

from whose icy tentacles no escape doth exist.

her name a seductive caress on lips of a song,

                                                whispering promises, enticing her to belong.

Alas, a curse keeps her captive still,

                                                her fate slave to a vengeful wizard’s will

For he wove a spell into her life’s maze

                                  Ensnared betwixt worlds she be a prisoner always

a mere shadow with no cadaver to claim her own,

                                       for all time to come  dead & those still unborn

even beyond the grave shall there be no goodbye,

                                                 for it will be the shadows where I forever lie..
