Shadow

You are there following,
Silently whispering,
Husky you chant,
Wicked words you incant,
Words with depth, dirty, desirous,
The chase is on to conquest.
The will you? Won’t you? Second guess,
My path home more or less.
Yet when I seek your specter,
There’s only the dark umbra,
It chills me to the marrow,
You shrink and move, again you grow,
Then turn away, separate,
To the right at night
Under the light
You scare my cockles,
Shiver my timbers
Hiding, over there, now here
Behind those columns
As I pick up the pace
To get out of this place
It becomes a race,
Looking for shared disgrace
I must have you everywhere,
But you want me there
In the open, overtly unclothed,
In the trail, across the way
Sensationally, sensually, sexually sway
Take it all, enthrall, follow me,
Swallow me there,
Show yourself don’t hide,
If you want that ride,
The light fades in doorways
Go there in more ways,
Gather me in spit me out,
Take me hard, fast, or slow,
Bring that shroud, cover us,
Envelop us as the blackness enfolds,
But after devouring
The scouring and howling,
Fogging, dogging, denouement
Still following, termagant
Tracking and trailing
I can’t lose you now,
We’ve become one,
Up with the sun
