Deeds can never be undone, wether good or bad. - ezunjoshy

On a full moon
at midnight
when the moon was at it's peak.

I saw an image
grafted on the floor
as though it were a man.

It never left me.
And at some point I thought it was my bodyguard
but this one gave me no privacy.

He started haunting me,
Surfacing everywhere I went.
And though I tried
to run from him
he ran ahead of me.

The strange thing was
that others too were haunted.
By this man or another?
I don't know.
But it was certain that they too couldn't escape it.

Hi Guys,
I've decided within myself to henceforth tell the stories behind my poems starting Today.
The poem was originally written by yours truly on the 5th of July, 2016.
The word 'Shadow' as used in the poem stands in place of my past and the full Moon is me at my best.


I got the inspiration to write this poem when I met a friend of my elder sister who had obviously never seen me before but knew entirely about my past and believe me, it was somewhat irritating. Cause fortunately I was no longer that kind of person but my sister wouldn't know because we no longer stay together.
Another incident that stirred my inspiration into ink was a little more dramatic: I had a sharp disagreement with my Dad and believe me I was right but no one even gave me a chance to explain myself. They labeled me guilty and judged me based on my former personality. It was there and then that I learnt the hard lesson that; "Deeds can never be undone. Wether good or bad."
So I charge you to Please live wild and safe at the same time, be happy and most of all consider others before you make decisions. Thanks once again for visiting my blog. I would like to have you as an audience next time. Do feel free to comment on how you feel about the poem.

Full moon has rises in our area today !

I'm sure it has. And believe me it's a privilege seeing it.
Thanks for visiting my blog.

You are welcome !

That one major reason we need to think about tomorrow while living a life.
Because it's very easy to create a story line about a person but very hard to erase it.
Nice post 👍👍

Thanks I'm flattered.

I love the lineation here indeed. The images and the flow flow like comely ebb.

Thanks for visiting my blog Bro. Really appreciated. Thanks for the awesome comment too.

There are many people in your shoes who made wrong turns in the past and they are still labeled for those turns ...best part is the realisation of your mistakes and proofing to everyone that you are not your past and you are now a better version of yourself.....By the way nice post👍

Thanks.
I really appreciate it.
The labelling actually made me work on myself just so as to prove them wrong.
Thanks once again.
