My Shadow

My shadow paces me the day
In pantomime along my way
Back and front in short or long
It shows from dull to very strong

It has no substance just a view
A pantomime of what I do
But mentally it stirs my thought
To stretch into a strange contort

It gives me length to touch some dire
Like leaping flames of burning fire
To stroke a bird or butterfly
To place my hand upon her thigh

I make it do what I won’t dare
And non the wiser or aware
And never have they put me down
Nor do I get the slightest frown

I’ll bet you never felt that kiss
I lay upon your breast and lips

Morning Sir Sy!
Well this certainly is a loverly one to awaken to this morn.
Reminds me of that old song, "Me and My Shadow" ..remember that one?
This kick started my day for me...

Have a good one!

Now - while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again..and again....

Sounds very bleak, almost like a longing to have that other that is constantly there but never being able to touch them. It also harkens to how (maybe I am being melodramatic) some people can be close to you but you can never truly "touch them". So they have never felt your love or caress, though they are by your side constantly.

It is but a touch of whimsy, thank you.
