Shadow Love
15 December, 2004
Author: J Freedom Long
Reaching for shadow lover,
shape again his unseen mate.
As winds whisper soft murmurs,
shape again his destined fate.
Shaping her from dark shadows
flickering candlelights glow.
Shaping his shadow flower
petals that unfold too slow.
Hungry eyes meet o'er touching
lips and more from deeper kiss.
Her reaching hand moves to him,
guiding love to shadow bliss.
She offers love filled breasts for
her man child to gently nurse.
Reaching for his strong caress,
Shadow love almost to burst.
She's his ideal shadow love,
shaped almost real in his mind.
Almost real below, above,
inside flesh and soul to find.
Converging both together,
magic climax known again.
Glowing from another time,
and shadow love must end.
Time to leave shadows behind,
time for real love to now share.
No more dreams from shadow love,
now his sunlight love is there.
------- Author's Notes -------
Sometimes shadow love of the imagination portends and visualizes a real sunlight lover who is away or not yet seen or not yet even known? |
