Chasing Shadows

She feels his touch with the cool breeze
The sensation on her skin – so familiar

She hears him between the rustle of leaves
Whispers that resonate magic within

She smells him while walking through the woods
The sweet aroma of soggy leaves wafting in the air

She tastes him in strawberries and M&Ms
Temporarily satiating her hunger within

She sees his image in fleeting moments
Always moving – never quite clear

He teases her senses with an elusive smile
She’s chasing shadows – or so it seems

And always – just out of reach
And then … And then …

He kisses her

Chasing Shadows

chasing her shadow
she is never close enough
answers out of reach
