Love Reborn

Mind fixed on shadow they did not see
Love walk away out
on to the street silent and free
Far Love ventured
shadow clung close. securely
Shadow and Love built lives
to live separately
Each a slut uncontrolled
a whore body without soul
wandering listlessly.
Happiness an empty dream
neon like, glowing as reality.
Sunset Time called home the twain
Arms outstretched against odds strained
to gather close, to consolidate years of gains
Of togetherness, of reality built in vain
In full view Shadow melted
like ice in mid-summer's day
Love was reborn as rose
in lands far, far away.
