Solomon Ochwo-Oburu Poet Lyric

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

Lyric Man July 8, 2018 at 9:03 PM 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! Solomon Ochwo-Oburu July 9, 2018 at 2:31 PM Lyric Man,what a comment? I wish you were a musician! I would recommend you play this with a guitar for the world to dance and sweat in joy!
