Sihouettes' Dance

Dancing, dark shapes; shadows to my prying eyes

Haunt the walls and windows wearing their disguise

Their dark form making motions cast in tones of mute

No sounds upon the wind; no music from the flute

Secrets told in shadows held tight in romance embrace

Flashes of light and darkness alternate in one place

First one then two, close, touching, emotions run high

Dancing in anonymity from prying eyes that spy

A love story in motion played out on the window shade

A watcher envies with jealous eyes of bright, green jade

A private moment; a tender kiss; not meant for the light

Love’s little secret thought hidden within the night

Not a word is spoken but the movements say it all

Mysterious dancing shadows upon the bedroom wall

Moments stolen; spent on a desired romantic chance

Cast upon the window shade, the silhouette’s dance

I am reminded of how we danced shadows in the night

Cast upon window curtains in the soft bedroom light

But that was many years ago, more than just a few

Time cannot take my memories of shadow dance with you

Now I move as a lonely shadow cast in solemn stance

Night shadows over your grave on your headstone dance

Death snatched you from our embrace; nothing left in trade

Now I sit alone watching other’s shadows dance on the shade
