Beautiful Shadow

Everywhere I encounter a scaring ghost It is the beautiful shadow of my lover Flying, hiding, teasing, mocking, itching It does not give me time to live as myself I cast my eyes over the Rainbow Mountains There her pretty shadow smiles down on me In the valley I go but there it is waylaying me Ready to hijack my shadow for a mock fight I go to bed and cover my head with a sheet But I feel it there sharing the cold bed with me In the bathroom she comes to me tip toeing Then I feel we are bathing but with shadow Beautiful shadow of my lover haunts me Teasing and bullying me as her profession When it comes blood runs hot in my veins When I check round me I only feel her ghost Lover, why do you hide away from me daily? My heart has apples, juices, pizza, and honey Packed at the table of your romantic ovens Come now, come;morrow never comes home

Solomon.. Tonight, the mountain sky is clear. In a few hours the stars will tease me with their winks. The twilight is for your poem, and it's as enjoyable as the coming sunset!
