Your Shadow

entry picture

Can’t make the dreaming stop
It spells the truth out right
For in the cold of night
I wish your shadow to return

Each captivating form
that danced in hidden doors
When boredom stalked my mind
Our shadows tricked the moon

Where dreaming haunts my soul
Your touch is ever present
I always reach for you
Though I’m afraid of shadows

And oh God how I love you
Though I could tell you not
Now you may never know
Unless your shadow should return.......

Hi again, this reminds me of a time, not so very long ago really, when i too was afraid of "shadows". I'd be walking down the street and quite literally, a shadow would draw up beside me, as if to say,"oi, where do you think you're going without me."
Great stuff Alison, but i wouldn't want to repeat it.xx

haunting but romantic images here. I love the line "I always reach for you, though i'm afraid of shadows"
