lovely shadow

my heart is hungry for you

i know what it is to ache

i know what it is to desire

my desire takes the form

of your lovely shadow

i kiss your neck and taste depth

i kiss your throat and taste truth

i kiss your breast and taste love

i dream more and taste your passion

 there is no place on that shadow

i have not imagined but still

it is your mind i caress in my heart

and your heart that i hold in my mind
