Why does a shadow always eclipse <br />The brightest and the sunniest of days <br />Just when everything seems right <br />Another shadow appears in sight <br />And so here we are <br />Haunted by phantoms of the past <br />Each plagued by memories <br />that refuse to depart <br />Each loving the other <br />Yet too proud to let the other know <br />The depth of love felt <br />Or too scared perhaps <br />of seeing your proud heart melt! <br />Whatever, <br />the shadow remains <br />Dimming the light of today. <br />Funny! <br /> how dark, brooding <br /> featureless shapes <br />exercise such control over us <br />And how we love to bask <br />Under its canopy so dark.<br /><br />jyoti saxena<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/phantoms-of-the-past/
