Shadows...




Still I see you standing there
over by the corner of the window
looking at the coming dawn
clothed only in light and shadows,
My hands brush the fading warmth
as I track your cooling scent
my voice frozen and speechless
at your beauty in those shadows,
Wanting so much to call out
yet too afraid to break this spell
a moment caught in endless time
but like a bubble too soon to end,
I quietly crept from our cooling bed
and reached to stroke your soft smooth skin
blackness and thunder the room churns
as I awaken aboard this storm tossed ship,
Creaks and groans from stressing metal
tied to our racks to keep us in
I close my tearing eyes and try to sleep
desperate not to remember how much I've lost
