STORIZEN POETRY

Shadow side of Greatness

- Dipanjana Nath

In the softness of the morning dew In the chirping of the birds few You walk along –nice and tall Giving me the sense of the life new

When the sun of my life shines

brighter

Your baleful presence turns tighter Increasing the proximity dangerously And turning me into a helpless fighter

Your scornful feature abstract Tries all its ways to distract

But I stand fearless

And my eyes refuse to contract

When I walk faster to catch up with

life

You chase me steady soaring my fright Throttling me into a grip tight

I wish for a soothing rain I look for a dark cloud I desire you to vanish

Miles away behind the unknown

crowd

I know you are ambitious But I am hopeful

I am helpless

But still soulful You laugh at me with dreadful eyes But I must tell without me you lose

your guise

You are just a contour and I am real You might do the alchemy

But I dwell

I am the greatness and you are my

shadow

I am focused but you do so much ado You show me the sad and lows

Welting me strange blows

You sneer and release the other side

of the coin

But you often forget that if I leave the

world

You will have no one to join
