Shadow

I stand still, very still
in my shadow.

No movement necessary
except for my eyes
allowed to wander intensely
in search of my surroundings.

Today, the sun burns into my casing
and coats it bronze,
air sprayed by the light wind
that carries your whisper kisses to my face
and directly to my lips.

I breath in the air you breath out
as you come close,
feeding my soul
while energizing my thoughts
as you step into my shadow.

Give me room to move from my stillness
and I will take your breath away with me,
to where I can escape my shadow..
into the night.
