Silhouette
In ghostly white and crystal blue
Like sun spiked diamonds on a chain,
So gently dripping down upon
Your silhouette within the rain,
And where you stood, the shadows bowed
In homage and in wonderment,
As unseen beauty shone abroad
In such a sacred sacrament.
Then the gas light glowed upon you
And your silhouette was gone,
Like curtains opened to the dawn
Just as the evening's done,
You reached out purple brocade arms
To hold me close again,
And we clasped ourselves together
In the shining morning rain.
And mist clad lips I softly kissed
So indistinct below the lace
That framed with such expressiveness
The perfect smile upon your face,
Which reached out so uncertainly
Although I glimpsed with soft surprise
The tethered velvet fluttering
Of shadows living in your eyes.
Then we awakened to each other
As we held on to the dawn
With a sense of life beginning
Such a sense of being born,
And we paddled in the shadows
As the sun washed them away
Then we walked along together
Through our first together day…
