shadow of emotions

there was a grey cloud filled celing a little too close to my head
as i stumbled along the road in my black treads
while my eyes focused down low
the corner of the crumbling brick building showed the tip of a shadow

a shadow? from where?
i tried to put my FOOT on why it was there

i decided i KNEEded to find its source

so i followed the SEX LINES up the pavement in a convoluted course

--
as i fingered Bach on my HIP i tried to understand
how to organize the thoughts i had at HAND

...
to see a shadow like this
during this thick mist
i am very confused on how it could exist
could it be happiness?, no that would be a twist
...

walking with my thoughts i accidently tripped

on the PIKO in the ground that i inadvertenly kicked

i searched for a way to get up on my own
thats when i reached for the COLLAR BONE
brushed myself off and fixed my hair

i hope that no one saw how i got there

i looked at the shadow one more time
this time it was a bit more defined
so i kept walking along on this trek
as i held my left hand up by my NECK

i suddenly stopped and moved my focus from down to top

which brought my stride to a sudden stop

i quickly shielded my EYES from the light

as i managed to make out what was in sight

at this moment, my heart did glow
as i looked at the one who made this illusory shadow
so now i know
that in his arms is where i shall go
