Charming Man and Shadow Woman
Charming Man met Shadow Woman
in a daydream, and took her to a Shang-ra-la
she had but flirted with many moons ago.
She met him inside a mystery and enjoyed
him intensely and immensely – the feel, the smell, the delight.
Romantic, handsome, and unbearably but secretly
And discreetly wealthy, he took her in his arms.
Their passionate, yet unconsummated love
was immensely powerful as Shadow Woman
fell under Charming Man’s spell.
He had a family who loved her, revered her and
encouraged her. They had introduced them after all.
It was only her self-doubts and inner conflicts
keeping them apart. She thought she was too flawed to ever be
loved by the likes of him.
Every night she reveled in her love and joy
for her Charming Man Prince, ignoring world men
who would never live up to his charisma or reverent adoration.
An avid romantic, Shadow Woman never thought of
seeking any other man, fearing disappointment.
Her cats sighed at her abject loneliness.
Every night, languishing in a cocoon of sheer love
for their mistress who lovingly reached
for the next novel and the newest Charming Man.
