Souls

She stands on a cliff
Waiting
Moonlight shimmering
off the ocean below
The silver light
it encircles her
making her look ethereal

Her face fine boned
pale and pure
Her hair long and silken
a mixture of dark colors
Her eyes hidden by shadow
but remaining secretly brown
A perfect mixture.
A picture of angelic beauty.

She glides more than walks
She whispers more than talks
She is the angel's grace
Suddenly not alone
Wrapping her arms tightly around a dark lover
A man cast in shadows

A man with ice blue eyes
pale as she
with long hair of darkened gold
A tall figure looking down at her
A smile on his thin lips
His face so used to cold
she is a welcome warmth

He holds her close, kissing her neck
treasuring her every whisper
feeling every murmur
as bodies are entwined
two become one shadow
and nothing else matters.

Hold her always, brave shadow.
Love him forever, beautiful shade.
The sun rises over the hills now
sparkling over the ocean below
and they slowly fade...
love bound souls entwined forever.
