Shadow Couple

SHADOW COUPLE Not sure, me conscious or in contemplation May be DREAMLIKE or an illusion Perplexed in SURREAL condition. I was walking alone on the stream strand An UNREAL sensation, arduous to understand TRANCELIKE feeling as if you held my hand Sun was down snatching my shadow SHADOWY sky brought Moon crescendo In Moonlight shadow reappeared to follow. Little brittle ripples dancing with shadows of Palm trees Suddenly speed of wind started to increase. My cluster of hairs was rustling in the breeze. The stream strand was deserted solitary Noticed second shadow: Virtual or IMAGINARY? Felt curious, astonished and little bit scary. HAZY heavy smog prevails around, mist drips I am thrilled to feel mild touch on my lips Behind pieces of clouds mystic Moon peeps My sweetheart, my love was supposed to come. He must be hidden behind rows of trees Palm Hurriedly I moved to find my handsome Looked around, searched but found none Awaited to welcome but seemed all fun. Leaving his shadow beside me he had gone. Engrossed in ETHEREAL emotion I am stepping ahead I had lost him last year, now I am safely guarded Shadow- couple made for each other proceeded 05/30/21 Third Place 'Writing Prompt Dreamlike' Contest by Constance La France
