Shadow Of A Memory Poem by Joey Beighley

He comes to you when you don't want him
A whisper a touch, a cold breeze...
He is not light nor dark, life nor death
A shadow of time, a memory...
His romance is unlike any other
A dream of a love, a fantasy...
His kiss is sweet, tender, soft, ever lasting
Lips not of flesh or bone, but o taste...
His eyes are future tellers, distance yet to come
Brightness behind darkness, Eternity...

You long for him, want his presence
the shadow of a memory...
You ask for him to come, to be close
the shadow of a memory...
You stand close to kiss him, lips of wine
the shadow of a memory...
You want his romance, that of fantasy
the shadow of a memory...
you hear his whisper, a sound of nothing
the shadow of a memeory...

He is not that of a man nor beast
but that os a shadow of a memory...
