Loving My Shadow

for an eternity, I bask in the brilliance

of his aura. So what if he exhumed

but only my shadow-- the very balance

I sought, has now finally assumed

you into his world, showering such care,

much love; it is as if he is tenderly holding

me within his heart, a place I despaired

in this life of ever reaching, or ever beholding

 *****

 Go live my child! Bask in that intrinsic charm

which has so entrapped me, promising never

to let go. I shall now live my dreams, no harm,

through you. Perhaps in loving you thus my dear

he will eventually abandon his reserve and disarm
