Ibrahim Bashiru Poet Romanticism

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

Darren White May 4, 2017 at 10:44 AM 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. Ibrahim Bashiru May 9, 2017 at 2:05 AM Thanks Darren White
