Shadows of the night ...A Poem by TangowilliamTrue loves ways ..Shadows of the night
… She refuses my hand, as we stand, by
the car. Wondering “why?” is a bridge too far. In silent reproach, I drive, into the
fading light. Hands on the wheel, eyes on the road,
I steal a glance as we lance through, the shadows of the night. Flickering light sweeps her face and
reveals, a wonderful thing. Still driving and striving to find
the way, with words unspoken I say “love you …”. With no conversation, she, in blind
reach, strokes my hair and we share, in careless caress, a moment of intimate pleasure. We push on through, the shadows … Unable to respond, held captive by bond
of road and wheel. Seized by dancing light, I smile at the shadows of the night. Words not to find, no mask to hide, no
light to blind, we reject the shadows of the night. At journeys end we still say “friend”. All shadows
gone, taking my hand, with no words spoken, she says “love you too …” © 2022 Tangowilliam |
