Love In Shadow

The journey that was us is unknown to many Behind walls and close door we exist Slipping quietly in to the shadow for stolen moment We lived only in the dark Our pleasure, desire a sinful one In the light of day I dare not look into eyes I am afraid it will reflex my soul Twisted, unashamed of loving you I ache for you Wish for the hungry way you kiss The hungry way you demand for my touch The shooting star of us become one We are forever breaking free In the shadow where we exist The story of us lives in whispers and rumours Within eardrops and behind backs Never face to face Never vibrantly within the beaming sun Where there is no shadow for us to exist

So beautiful.... and it reminds me of something I can relate to... but whatever you wanted to say, this is beautiful poetry, your language is rich, so much longing and still a sadness there.
