L’ombra<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

La tua ombra nel mio cuore si anim\u00f2, divenne vita pulsante.
Un battito accelerato, un respiro sospeso\u2026 poi il sangue riprese a scorrere impetuoso nelle mie vene.
Chi pu\u00f2 sapere cosa resta di noi nell’anima altrui?<\/p>\n

Avevo creduto di aver congelato il mio amore per te, ma il tempo mi dimostr\u00f2 il contrario.
Come uno spettatore silenzioso, vidi passare i ricordi, la mia vita\u2026
Ogni giorno un interrogativo senza risposta.<\/p>\n

Un incontro casuale, il passato che riaffiora, quell’amore che avevo cercato di dimenticare si risvegli\u00f2 vivo nei miei occhi, nelle mie mani tremanti, nel battito del mio cuore.
Cuore che ancora cerca la tua ombra tra la folla, che ti ama, che vorrebbe fuggire dal dolore che mi hai inflitto.<\/p>\n

Una promessa di rivederci, poi\u2026 il nulla.
Il tempo scorre veloce, indifferente.
Ritorno alla vita, dove ti ho sognato, odiato, amato.
Forse ti rivedr\u00f2, ma tu tornerai a essere l’ombra nel mio cuore,
un’ombra che non dimenticher\u00f2 mai.<\/p>\n

The Shadow<\/span><\/h1>\n

Your shadow came to life in my heart, it became a pulsing life.
\nA racing heartbeat, a suspended breath\u2026 then the blood surged fiercely through my veins.
\nWho can know what remains of us in another\u2019s soul?<\/p>\n

I thought I had frozen my love for you, but time proved me wrong.
\nLike a silent spectator, I watched memories pass by, my life\u2026
\nEach day a question without an answer.<\/p>\n

A chance encounter, the past resurfacing, that love I tried to forget awoke alive in my eyes,
\nin my trembling hands, in the beating of my heart.
\nA heart that still seeks your shadow in the crowd, that loves you,
\nthat longs to escape the pain you inflicted upon me.<\/p>\n

A promise to meet again, then\u2026 nothing.
\nTime flows swiftly, indifferent.
\nI return to life, where I dreamed of you, hated you, loved you.
\nPerhaps I\u2019ll see you again, but you will return to being the shadow in my heart,
\na shadow I will never forget.<\/p>\n

Review<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Shadow<\/strong> by Zaira Sellerio is a poem that explores with depth the feelings tied to lost love and enduring memory. Through vivid and precise imagery, the author manages to convey universal emotions: the heartbeat, the suspended breath, the blood surging back through the veins become tools to relive the passion and pain of memory.<\/span><\/p>\n

The poem plays with time and memory, alternating between past and present, like a silent and attentive gaze upon one\u2019s own life. A chance encounter with the past reawakens emotions thought to be dormant: desire, nostalgia, and a still-vivid pain. The shadow becomes a symbol of what remains indelible in the heart, a love that persists even when everything seems over.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a lyrical and delicate style, Sellerio describes the conflict between memory and the life that goes on, between the hope of seeing a loved one again and the awareness of their absence. The poem leaves a profound emotional imprint, capable of speaking to the reader with sincerity and strength, confirming the author\u2019s talent in transforming complex emotions into words that linger.<\/span><\/p>\n
