The Silhouette

Hidden in the shadows of an alcove fighting the night's fears

A vision of great beauty in a silhouette she appears


Then suddenly came to life, she was exquisitely divine

My heart raced and my soul begged for her to be mine


Long lustrous flowing locks as she tied ribbons in her hair

Silently I beheld her womanly charms I desperately wanted to share


Struck dumb and still I wondered for the longest while

If in these shadows she could see my yearning smile


I wish I could paint that vision on the canvas of my rhyme

As she lives in my mind's gallery until the end of all time
