Shadow and I

Life is a Stage...Act 1, Scene 1 (the only one...?!?)

Remodel my being this enigmatic, next summer. You broke all the rules risking collapse. 
I cannot read your thoughts - a disrupted connection - a handsome dead poet with genius for 
love. I'm dressed in white petals, dreams in my hair. French manicure - ten shells of Pacific 
squeezing your fingers so cold and so white that hold all the secrets of Oneness in life... 
I know you can see me behind marble layers. Reality can't slap me ever again !
The stage - improvised by romantics at heart, the curtain - a time splash wrinkled in vain. 
It started to rain, the roof will soon cry... Lights and the show starting majestic. 
Your thoughts in my heart exploding with passion...
Applause and encore ! 
..short exit: 
Shadow and I...

I liked how yours seems actually like a play or talking about a play. I think I just didn't really get the purpose behind this contest. Anyway, congratulations, very descriptive! andrea

Hey, I'm glad to finally see an entry for this contest, Iolanda. I was wondering how it was done. My idea was to have dialog, like a real play, but maybe I guessed wrong, methinks so. Just read your weather response to the blog. YOur area sounds like Utah's. but slightly warmer. WE are lucky today! LUv, Andrea
