Analysis of My Shadow
Shadow, you are the witness
of my childhood days.
You were the companion
of my frolicking
under moonbeams to Sunrays.
I found you more flirtatious
than my beloved
under candlelight.
You looked more seductive,
against the wall, you were silhouetted.
When the sun is setting down
to the far end of infinite
where I see a vague line.
Still, I find you at my hind side.
