In The Shadows Date: Tuesday, 1st November 2005 @ 02:13:56 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: shortcut In the shadows In the shadows we share our love Ever watchful for prying eyes Mindful of their iron glove With a heavy heart full of soft sighs To want to be proud and be loud Yet forced by society to hush So silently our love is vowed Softly and tenderly like a new roses blush Full lips, soft skin, sensuality in motion Long hair, curvy hips, sensual smile, many heads you turn Many a mans mind you give toward sexual notion But it is my equally feminine body for which you yearn The world says it’s wrong and a horrible sin We know that simply is not a truth So silently we love and publicly grin Closed minded people can be so uncouth.
