shadows

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 your 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
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 closed my tearing eyes and try to sleep
desperate not to remember
