Shadows Of Me
for Magnus
watch out darling boy I’m coming
I did warn you, didn’t I?

If you hear a soft noise when the night-time falls
Or hear a twig break under certain footfalls
Don’t go searching through the dead of night
Stay safe inside or else you’ll get a fright
If you go looking you’ll know who you’ll see
If you’re out seeking you’re gonna find me
I’m there waiting until you’re fast asleep
Then softly and carefully through the house I’ll creep

If you hear a soft sigh that’s carried on the breeze
Or think you see a shape standing by the trees
Don’t rush outside and try to track me down
Stay away from trouble or you’ll wear a frown
The only thing you’ll hold is a whispered call
I’ll melt into the shadows until nightfall
Try to touch me and I’ve vanished like a ghost
Then later my friend you'll be playing host

If you hear a whisper that sounds like your name
Or imagine for a moment that this is all a game
Don’t try to seek me I’m moving all around
That’s not me you hear its some other’s sound
Shadows make more noise I’m as silent as can be
Don’t think you’ll catch me using trickery
Do you see the shadows? Do you feel their dread?
Now my fine friend what was that you said?

Marsha

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

(giggles in delight) Yep, I remember the warning you stamped in his face, sweet friend, this is delightfully wicked, I wonder how he'll respond! (big hugggssssss) This is wonderful comeback, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Marsha, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Uh, Mr. Magnus, sir, they call her mushy because that's what she makes of her enemies....and she's headed this way...but if you want to tangle with her, well, don't let fear and common sense hold you back

'Deer....

Fear?  Common Sense?

or is it just plain stupidity??

OH WELL.....I guess I just as well should
go ahead and stop writing poetry....That
is about the only way she is going to
catch up.....
