POEM OF THE SHADOW GIRL

When you speak to me,

I am like the leaf that gathers rainwater--

You are the bloom.



When you need me,

I am like the pillow someone lays her head upon--

You are the dream.



When you touch me,

I am like the cake someone steals some frosting from--

I exist for your desire.



When you are angry with me,

I am like the dented pail forgotten on the lawn--

I hold only emptiness.



And when you smile at me,

I am like a champagne geyser, I bubble and shine--

You are the midnight

You are the one I

Know can never be mine.

Aw!

Yeah, one of scads of poems I've written for someone I love dearly.

Thanks for reading!

That is really beautiful.

You are an exceptional poet, Stealth.

Thank you for reading and for the kind words, Leiandra. 

Stealth, you don't need kind words from anyone but editors of poetry journals!! You're poems are really excellent and should be collected in a book!

So many "poets" miss the intensity that lyric means. You get that.

Your poems are like perfect 17th century minatures worn as lockets: beautiful, powerful and such wonderful art. I would imagine people would be surprised how much you actually put into the writing to come out with the pieces you do.

Thank you.

Hmm, they might indeed! I love your comparison to the miniatures. Lovely!

There once was a crone of the winter
and I aint got nuttin aginst 'er
she is so groovy
she should be a movie
then I'd go to Blockbuster and rint 'er

Nice poem. I like it.

Thanks, I think!!? 

Never been the subject of a limerick before and have always thought the subjects of those were somewhat less-dignified than "Goddesses of Winter!"  >

What the hey, I like it anyhow.

Thank you Ma'am.

You are welcome, but you don't need to call me, "Ma'am."

*sigh* I'm not sure I like having a reputation as a Domme.  I am a switch, and as time goes on Ell's and my relationship has levelled a lot.  I think I'd rather just be plain old Lisbeth.

Lisbeth it is, then. 

(never encourage Stealth to drop her manners lol)

Stealth, painfully proper

Take that *wink* very seriously, Stealth. Our Ma'am Lizbeth only has eyes for the Elf these days!. She's in wuv. And that is very grand!
