When They Would Lose Their Shadows

When They Would Lose Their Shadows

The scent she always

wore to bed

was so much more

inviting

than just a simple

invitation ..

Or an understated

statement

might have been ..

But rather,

it was more,

a complex extension

of her own

near nakedness

and her subsequent

intentions ..

Oh’ what games

and gifts,

she would later offer

play and ply ..

When his statue

by the fountain

in our beloved garden ..

Would then,

for a while at least ..

Be sure,

to misplace its own

shadow,

alongside that of her own ..
