This is something I just felt like sharing.
I walk along the shadows oblivious to those around me
never stepping into the light
I stay hidden under the cover of darkness
a creature of the night
I hear the whispers of others
and see their evil glares
Their words are pierced in hatred
because they have no idea I'm there
I am always ever watchful
I hear whats in their hearts
Always in the shadows
hidden by the dark
I see them on the other side
and give a passing nod
I watch my children closely
You see I am their god.

Ok, you have to tell me how far off I am. I think what you are saying in the poem is that people need to stop and think before they do things because they actually don't know who is watching them. That everything they are doing is being watched by their GOD. Even if I am wrong I thought this poem was awesome.

Thank you.. I promise that when it reaches 10 post or more I will disclose what the meaning of the poem is. I figure I'd give people proper time to respond first. Or I might just wait till the end of the week. Whichever happens first.

I have to admit that when I read this I first thought that it was some lyrics to a song. I am not the type of person who normally reads poetry but I found this poem to be one that I like. Its a straight forward poem that I can use to relate to. Good Job Devilsangel.

Thank you for the compliment and for taking the time out to read it. I think you're like the 4 or 5th person who told me it sounds like song lyrics. It got me thinking maybe I should make it into one. :) Now I just gotta find a few more lines for it to make it work.

If rewritten & restructured, it can be the next song to toss into the Wall Of Pain collection. It would be a good addition to what I call the "Dark Metal" collection.

I may be way out in left field but it seems to me you are a spirit which is no longer living in the flesh. This is why they can't see you and this is why you can hear what is in their hearts. At any rate, you have a talent with writing poetry which seems to come from your soul.

Thank you for the compliment. More than likely I'll post the meaning to this poem, since folks are begging me to know what it is about. Not saying that you're begging to know but a few of my friends have been flipping out about knowing what it is about. So tomorrow I'll post its meaning.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to answer the question. I have a life outside here though and it comes first.
The poem is about mans relationship with god, and mans relationship with eachother. Its about how people are so quick to play nice in the public eye but behind it all their true heart really shines through. How there are those that are mean and hateful but are the same ones to smile and nod in their prespective faiths all the while truely ignoring the message being sent. How through no matter how hard they pretend their heart gives them away.

I liked it. I also think it would make good lyrics.
But, in a way, it makes me sad for you. It's like I got a small glimpse inside you. Sadness and distrust are some of what I got.
Or am I just totally whacked?
