Shadows

in the shadows love surrounds
rendezvous two have found
revelations often abound
with love the kiss imparts

teasing tasting tantalize
moistened lips mesmerize
heartbeats quicken synchronize
in waves of frenzied passion

touch me, please me, finalize
allow me to fantasize
hallucinations realize
ecstasy replete	

follow my dear, exclude deceit
forbidden bond now complete 
inhibitions in retreat
passion begs abandon

the dawn of everyday
is the night of that first day
I hunger still, often thirst
for the touch that was our first

Well written Howard, the passion of being without is sad to see life is this way for some people. The shadows are deeply within this poem. Thanks for sharing. Linda
