Lingering Shadows



Blue eyes
so intense
laugh with surprise
cold with indifference

No love have I ever known
tore through me so fair
the scars of a tornado overblown
leaving all in its wake bare

Like a fitful spirit which cannot rest
our moments together prowl and haunt
once stormy and obsessive, they patiently nest
ready to strike, waiting to taunt

Ahough 'tis only months which have passed
when I last tasted your kiss
the ache is of ages amassed
that have left my knickers in a twist

Looking back, I see that our's
was a risk I would never again take
a hunger which recklessly devours
leaving hidden shards in its wake

Despite there being another
our shadow still lingers low
the past and future blur together
this storm of passion will never again blow

Like satin to lace
time will echo of our love
whatever the time, people or place
blue eyes will I see in the skies above.
