Smoke in the Air

For my best friend...

your shadow follows you everywhere
twirling around like smoke in the air
breathe me in cause I don't care
I'm your shadow baby...neither here nor there

twist me around your finger tip
hold too tight and out I slip
between your lips and off your tongue
look out baby cause here I come...

shades of grey
beyond the night
beyond the black
shades of light

your shadow follows you everywhere
dancing in darkness like smoke in the air
breathe me out cause I don't care
I'm your shadow baby..and I am here

This is a very good write. I really enjoyed it. This prose is just wonderful:

shades of grey
beyond the night
beyond the black
shades of light

But I don't want to take away from the rest of this masterful piece. I love the imagery.

Thank you for this great write.

Sounds like a song. a tune was playing on my mind when i was reading this.

Your friend is lucky to have someone who writes poems for her.

Thanks Emrick...most of my poems are inspired by people around me :)

A nice poem.
I like the lines:
shades of grey
beyond the night
beyond the black
shades of light.
