Solitude's Shadow

I see how shadow

touches light

cool

inviting

hidden, yes

I could rest

here.

Away from your clarity

your lips

proclaiming proclamations

of love.

What is true

in the heat

of the moment.

When night falls

which it will

shadows merge

which they do

taking form

challenging us

to discern

demon’s breath

this place here

cutoff,

where it is safe enough

to rest

alone.
