SHADOW DANCER


SHADOW DANCER

always, blinded by the light
glowing in their shadow needs
candles burn slowly tonight

hands still dancing against
dark wall attending thoughts
awake again, in romancing

still enthralled, mind fights
sown seeds a heart accepts
feeling the second warmth

building on passion heights
wax burns too slowly down
from a boogie to slow dances

in light, already a has been
a shadow of what might be
feelings, you've already left

a flame's cheap handpuppet
I am nothing more here now
a lonely shadows fan dancer
