But Shadows Again |

She sat against the old face Where lichen grew softest facing north And stared out over the skin of her That wore cold stones of sky tonight As no clouds pushed their way across heaven Leaving her to lie calm “Show me shadows again” she said as she half turned herself towards me as I stood quietly to one side lost in my own reverie of muse that lay words half down on paper only to be blown away with each exhale I consumed “Come” I answered as I drew from pocket small bladed knife. “Stand here” She stood and looked at me Pale mouthed eyes begging hungrily And I began To draw at her feet a circle with the knife Cutting loose black wet with ease “Here,” I said “Are dreams” and drew again on ground a figure of a man “Look inside them both my friend” and you will see where shadows begin She sighed as I watched her stare “ Like this” I said, and took her hand placing it over my heart “Close your eyes and see” “See the shadows you make in me” I kissed her then Slow lips touching tender disbelief And shadows Longer grew |

Mmmmmm - love the feel of this - the sensual and tender - the subtle passion play - Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

We've got to get someone to come up with a hanky alert... that, or I am just overly emotional today...because this one was most definitely a tear-jerker of the best, heartfelt, kind... thank you, Cap'n! |
