Shadow Lover

Wishing for you
to glide into your shadow
under cover of night
follow your footsteps
into my waiting arms...

I await your shadow
to loom at my door
no shadow but yours
the wind through my open door
blows the restless curtains
the wind thoughts of you stir...

We love in the shadows
but like the roses I give you
their shadows love the sun
they also love the dark
like our love that is a lightless mystery...

Visionaries within the darkest-sight
we choose to love...
