Woundmates
Even in Noon sun, our shadows stretch sideways
Staring at us, curiously peering down
How many unanswered echos have we sent them
They who follow us around
as we tenderly tred the earth
as your shoulder holds my head
as you so graciously tend my heart
as you read to me in bed
Darker sides that hold our souls
Whilst we yearn to fly away
These mortal incarnations thus
bind our souls another stay
Twisting and turning shadows under you and I
So playful, push each other into light
As love is pain and pain is love
We forge to get each other right
Pay no attention as wounds mend, or our hearts lend
Holding hands, walk still with me and look ahead
Any matter, our shadows merge to one at night
So come and read to me in bed
