Lady in the Shadows

Contributed by thewizard on Tuesday, 31st March 2009 @ 02:27:49 PM in AEST
Topic: StoryPoetry

Down a darkened road
On a cold, windy night
Suddenly across the street
In a dim murky light

Through a floating mist
Coldness, in the air
Tingling down my spine
I see her, standing there

A lady in the shadows
Whose face, I cannot see
Waiting for her lover
Is she waiting for me?

Street lamps, gently glowing
Shine, on paths below
If only I could see her face
Maybe I would know

Hidden in the doorway
So late this night
This silhouetted lady
A strange, and eerie sight

If only I could understand
Why she's standing there
If only I could see
The colour of her hair

As I glance towards her
Her face, she turns away
If only I could see her
In the light of day

Standing in darkness
Is she in my mind
If only I could touch her
Answers, I could find

A ghostly figure I see
In silence, she stands
Bitter winds so cold
Chilling, shaking hands

Quietly moving closer
Mind full of fears
To a shadowy doorway
Suddenly, she disappears

Silently fading, into night
Shadows, no longer unfold
Hazy mists, now rising
Air, no longer cold

Did she really exist?
Maybe a trick of the light
A lady in the shadows
Now gone, this winters night
