Dark Were The Shadows

where have you been.....

 all those nights, love...? 

bright were the days

but dark were the shadows

 I  walked across... 

 knowing you were out there..

Voo.... in your silken wonder

 of unfinished poetry

  come touch my face.....

 and watch the Universe

  shudder...

so long I stood beyond the shadows

beyond the kiss of moonglow

     watching you hesitate

and then run

in desperate determination.....

search the dusk and the dawn, Michael

             it's there you'll find my form now

it's there you'll taste the delicacy

that few have ever known......

what if I go mad and am lost

in that search for you, Sweet Flower?

for the face that launched a thousand ships

cannot compare to yours ......

a taste of forbidden dreams

will never satisfy my soul, Voo

only the touch of your fingertips

upon my cheek will ever do...

then wear your madness, Michael

like a cloak to shield your soul

for who's to say

if you find me outside a dream?

reality is a fragile thing

like dreams...like roses....like love

Remember you not

the morn of our meeting?

my whispered warning in your ear?

I am sunlight and shadow

and a face and a flower 

but I have sharp thorns that sometimes pierce

and take my joy in pain.................
