Shadows Of Love

Shadows kiss
without kissing,
touch
without touching,
yearn for love,
never knowing
it's warmth.

Lovers smooch
in a doorway,
where light falls
from windows,
while shadows,
they drift
over walls.

Dancing
so spritely
they trip
and they tango
deflecting the light,
as they fly
and they prance.

They climb
and they slide
through a window,
all cosy,
lie down on a duvet
unseen
by sharp eyes.

They endeavour
to woo and when
time meets the sun,
light floods
the skies
and all shadows,
must fade……

It was good
for a moment
but moments
are fleeting,
as morning
breaks clouds
chasing shadows away.
