Shadows

Missing image

 

 

"Where are we now?"

Shadows kiss

"...on a beach in Antigua
scrunching our feet
in the hot sand and
cooling our skin with
twists of our tongues."

 

You borrow kisses
and promise you’ll
give them back, "one day"
when the ocean licks
the sand off our skin
and when I feel more
than just your shadow.

In my mind
I’m on my tip-toes,
arms stretched
reaching for you

where ever you are,



shadows kiss.

    I like this a lot, especially because people usually think of shadows as dark and menacing... but you make us think of the shadows in a different way in this poem
