Shadow Lovers

Could it be love when shadows overlap Their beings blending, doubling to dark Embracing tiled or terra cotta floor Sliding silently as silhouettes of shame Clinging to the still forbidden touch Relishing the fevered heat of light Cast upon this desperate aching need To meld - a two so lonely - into one

Pangie adores the sensuality in this, more than warm verse, John! Sizzling sentences that kindle souls. Thank you. A Favorite ..for sure. “Panting Pangie”

'Forbidden touch' contrasted with the 'fevered heat'. Simply wonderful ! Burning with beauty in brevity ! into my FAVE, dear John.

Well, Daniel, I am still sitting up and taking nourishment, tying my own shoes and wiping my own are.....and writing poetry. Hope things are well with you also.
