It Stays My Side A shadow grows and stays my side Forever watching, my abide. As time goes on this phantom sews And takes the seed of all that grows Ever patient and imminent It hovers my entitlement. I feel its presence more each day In the growing of somber gray But still I breathe the roses smell And tell my love that all is well. I know in time I’ll take its hand To lead me up to shadows land But I would pass together please As butterflies upon a breeze To fly beyond this sun and light And pass as one into the night. When lovers heed a single lane There is no need for either’s pain. |

When lovers heed a single lane There is no need for either’s pain. ========================================= Constant companion ... enigma of day and of night A whispered presence ... séanced and summoned by the bending light And we ... can only look on with shades of jaded envy Jealous of thy shadow ... for he keeps thee constant company (ohhowilovewhenyouwritelikethis) *winkiewinkie*  meA man who asks a woman to lie for him, is a man who will lie to that woman. |

Seymour~ 'But still I breathe the roses smell And tell my love that all is well.' Such a coverlet of comfort in these lines~ Tending the spirit of another is such a thoughtful gesture~ *Hugs* adorable person of poetic penning~  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Oh, how lovely. This is so pretty. Well written. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

But still I breathe the roses smell And tell my love that all is well. I know in time I’ll take its hand To lead me up to shadows land 'Tis not time for lilies! But your path is riddled with petals of life. This one snows them in realization. Sincerely, Regina |
