David Graham Poet Romanticism

Shadow Kiss

I am just a shadow love
You never really see me 
Oh, I know, you say you do, 
True, your constantly deceiving  

I am just a blowing wind
I speak,  you do not hear 
Your attention goes astray to more important things, my dear

To touch me is to feel me and this is what you show -
I am just your shadow love  
My heart you do not  know

I am just the silhouette 
whose shade you seek from sun
In rain , an umbrella , 
left by shoes when  you are done 

Through bent morning glass 
you gaze at your  beauty 
And I am who  you seek 
to flatter this greeting

Oh how I long , for your pleasure to expire  
You seek , 
You hear  ,
Then hunt with desire

I am just the shadow love 
In every waiting  morning
My kiss can never reach you
It's my soul you keep ignoring.
