Shadows on the WallA Poem by Merle Van DeeOh my eye of the midnight sky Watching over all paths leading home, As diamonds course through coal Your gaze pierces as hers lays siege. Lazily you laugh and dance through lover's hair Reminding us of your own reckless affairs, Playing cat and mouse with the morning light That playful and endearing bite. Absorbing the silence you echo it back A deafening yell over all you see. Only half-open, you still light the way To the stop just short of heaven The closest I'll ever be. Here I'll bathe in the shadows She casts across my skin, As the world keep spinning We'll lose your peaceful gaze. As quietly as you appeared On you move, To watch more shadows Dance against the wall. © 2016 Merle Van Dee |
