Shadow chasers

PHILOSOPHICAL SS The world is dark
And light
The shadows are friendly or give fright
The light warms or blisters and burns
The respite is buried in the choices of the mind
to not be fooled by painted devils
Sprouting tender cares and false flatteries
Honey in the trap looks so good smells so sweet
But leaves a bitter taste of foul
I tasted it when young,
And so I kicked the habit before it had begun,
Still silly fools sail everyday
To honey pot land to watch their bubbles burst
Oh what madness of the world
When a soul so desperate for validation, chases shadows
Looking for affirmation forgetting
It lies only with themselves...
Wow!!!

It even has a dash of that Poe-esque feel that I love! ;-)
Still
silly fools chase shadows in the night
Bestill the hearts of the shadowed kind
That bitter taste was once so sweet
Until it pulled me in too deep
So I chased the shadows in the skies
Ran for cover from my own mind
And you've inspired brilliant lines
By shadow chasers on your mind
;)
