We seldom notice our shadows on the wall when we’re in each other’s arms.
This guy does and he’s taking his imagination way out there. After all, it is the last time for the real male and female.

our shadows

come together

on the wall

they must think

we still

have it all

just this final night

and we’ll be gone

one last time

for the good times

we have known

our silent partners

never had a fuss

they’re still

having fun

being us

    Your poem was really beautiful.

  • LOVELYHONEY on Nov 1, 2009

    Such profound beauty

    That even shadows will smile

    All that wee while

    They are one upon one

    When we two part

    Shadows too shall depart

    They’ll cry behind unknown doors

    As we then lay on only floors
