Where Shadow Chases Light
The shadow swallows the light
The darkness overcomes the light
lower me then in to the frost
of my winter grave
with my soul without answers
I come from a dark place
where a child born dead
in the lacerating silence
of the indifference
and the guilty horror
of a blind humanity
that assassinates a planet
The shadow swallows the light
because there is no mercy
in who fathered the torment
to this eternal struggle
between light and matter
between good and evil
between love and hate
in the absurdity
of challenging
a wonderful "Creation"
by demonic temptation
The darkness overcomes the light
is not a question of balance
of Yin and Yang, as they say
a picturesque theory
which proves nothing
only its precariousness
in the universe of chaos
and devastation
where everything deflagrate
in the last glow
of a dying star
plunging into a black hole
The shadow swallows the light
in this "birth"
"copulate" and "dying"
prisoner of the body
of desire and pain
in a pathetic effort
of this dragging
in survival
in the mediocre ignorance
oppressive claustrophobia
that suffocates us
Abandon all hope:
"there is more darkness than light
in the universe!"
The shadow swallows the light
and the clock is ticking
I forgot the past
not knowing about the future
only a few moments remains
for happiness
and when I cross your sweet door
I lose myself
in the outer space
of your eyes clear
only then,
tears and despair
seem to be forgotten

Fragile & fenced
Gingerly streaming the foil of
perpetual evolution,
As the electron
gets electromagnetised by
watts per birth
scintillating through the
stream of consciousness like
R A I Nstorm
The shadows of mortal life chasing
the light of enlightenment
Fragile and fenced
with the vices of
carnality,sloth,greed,
anger,attachment,jeaously.
eroding the soul.
The voyage beyond mind,
deciphers the
past,present and future
Life is the reprinted edition
of the editions
of the scripted perennial
iota of eternity
as the shadows
Res ipsa loquitur,
The rely race between the
inner and the outer poles
of sustenance.
Distilled energy
travels through the perimeter of
the sharp perpendicular blade of soul,
to detox the
Condensed K A R M A
trapped in the
ethereal container
of the past
shadows of torment
Spinning frequency on the
orbit of the
revolution of evolution
combustion within the
neurons
Unfolding the cosmos of light.

I am famished
It's the love
of f l e s h
that makes my
knees water
veins
burst
I wish to see you ravished
for this is a game
where you are
the fleeting deer
I am the pair
of seeking eyes-
the tantalizing
attracting the tempted
I want to see you tarnished
that vain pride in you
of that ephemeral beauty
which is but skin-deep
prone to wear and tear
beyond your actualization
So I wish to scar you
and set you free
You are the Kundalini harnessed
My muse-my magnet
around you I gyrate
fall prostrate
a touch-glance-waft of you
is my cup of Ayahuasca
blink-I am the magic carpet
wishing to take you elsewhere
Wishes galore-enchanting allure
We are traversing parallel
a phenomenon analogous to the event
mundane-hyperreal
where shadow chases light
I always discover myself
running in circles
towards darkness
for you are the sheen of
a supernova
I am mind-you are maya
I am atman-you are kaaya
I am Sisyphus-you are
ether
I roll my projections of you
bundled together-cohesive
up and down
anticipating coitus
but it eludes me
as my eyes fill with
the pulsar-burst of you
behind the blind fold
and shadow chases light.

Brighter days
The tears
that once ran
down my face
Have
given way
to better days
For
your eyes
shine
like the sunrise
Turn the
dark and gray
into blue skies
Though
I was
once cold
and
bitter
to love
Your hand
reached
for mine
and
pulled me up
I walked
from the
shadows
into the
light
Thanks
to you
my future
is now
bright

i hope samantha does
theres nothing to think about
its as simple as breathing
its as hard as believing
i want someone who knows
that bright lights
cast dark shadows
i dont want someone
that needs me
i need somebody
that wants me
theres nothing to talk about
its as simple as blinking
its as hard as leaving
i want someone
who knows the
true value of
love and hope
i dont need
to be needed
i want to be
wanted
theres nothing to think about
its as simple as a feeling
its as hard as breathing
i want someone
who knows
their own highs
their own lows
i need someone
that wants me
i dont want somebody
that needs me
theres nothing to think about
its as simple as breathing
its as hard as believing
i want someone who knows
that bright lights
cast dark shadows
i dont want someone
that needs me
i need somebody
that wants me
theres nothing to talk about
its as simple as blinking

"Where I Be"
by: Eric L. Boddie
Just as the one who doesn't strike
Can be the victor in a fight
There could never be day without night
And even in the shadow, there is light
And even a dark flame can still burn bright
And with the green spark, we can take flight
So high that cloud nine is a lost sight
And no longer are things done just out of spite
Plus all things are conquered that cause fright
Because fear can't compare to Mary's might
She gives me the courage that exceeds my height
So that perfection may find what i write
And I'm not always right, but some of my words are tight
Some of my words are sweet, and some of the others may bite
And I will defend His Word, I am a Heavenly knight
And I guarantee that you don't want to see me smite
I really hate to tussle, but it's just like riding a bike
That's why I stick to myself, no group or team like Mike
And that's why you can find me in the shadows, you get a better view of the Light....

Shadows of the light-chasing variety
-----------
I missed your step, one behind
i missed the smooth silk words
that i didn't understand
i was too stood up
too much under the influence of light-twist
it was your game
we were playing
space and an ace
is all i got
it's the chances that i'm taking
the parachute-dive where
i don't care
for the wind ratio
there are two certain aspects of you
one is all i know
one is all i know
one is all i know
one
is what is wanted
it is what it is
from me from myself from a mirror
image
inside of this i hope you can find
some sort of labyrinth some sort
of hope, or string you've raveled
the hot-air balloon you
the crease of your stomach
you
in the living-room, being alive
being, i suppose
and you know
all i do is suppose
is this image
concrete enough?
or should i take the lightning cracks of the pavement
one rectangle further
