Shadow

I fell for your shadow

for it was her who laid beside me

as the mountain stretched steeply ahead

and the Sun shone down on your ………………………………… ascent

…………… leaving me

behind

with more and more dark to cherish

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ephemeral Beauty

Inquisitive glances frantically

fetch micro pieces of you

(Allow me to recreate your Masterpiece)

Lines orchestrated by (Welcomed.Unwelcomed) fingertips flicker

leaving iron eyes, winding locks, bronze lips and

(I press you onto my canvass)

……………………………………………………… not yet.

Leave no skin unturned.

Over to your perched neck (Too weighted for my hands)

Veering left, down your wilful arm, into the abyss of your palm

escaping right

treading light

observing your being rise and fall

over and over and over and over (i fail)

Emboldened hips stream to cascading limbs folded defiantly

A warming.

Shifting confidence, a smile bubbles to your surfaces, (do you see it too?

(i’m blind to your truth)

Let me) you lightly prop up your masterpiece into the chasm between us as

your ephemeral beauty gazes back with force (you… i’m-) shh… just watch)
