Shadows of Love
An apparition
Arose when she awakened
With the condition
Congealed between lips slaked
Simply by connecting once.
There’s a light mirage
Wavering from her viewpoint
Hidden in gardens
Shimmering by night or day
Where two stood as silhouettes.
Arose when she awakened
With the condition
Congealed between lips slaked
Simply by connecting once.
There’s a light mirage
Wavering from her viewpoint
Hidden in gardens
Shimmering by night or day
Where two stood as silhouettes.

This poem beautifully captures the ephemeral nature of love and the lasting impressions it leaves behind. The imagery of "Shadows of Love" suggests a sense of mystery and longing, as if the love shared between the speaker and their partner exists in a realm between reality and imagination. The use of words like "apparition" and "mirage" evokes a sense of fleetingness and illusion, while also hinting at the depth and intensity of the emotions involved. Overall, it's a poignant reflection on the transcendent power of love and its ability to linger in memory long after the physical connection has faded.
