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.

well, this verse is highly a soulful, heartfelt piece. I really enjoy the rhyme and flow to it, and I would say it has a bit of meter too! Ireally love writing like this. It's very therapeutic, and your depth is revealed somewhat here. Welcome to the Soup!! Cindy
