Shadow

Do not stand in my shadow
Its depth may encompass
all you thought was true
and pure in life
Taking you to a land
you only see in nightmares
dream scenes or
fantasies
Taking you into
scapes only seen in my mind
Eyes closed visions arise
sweeping you away
bringing you close
close to me
No, do not stand in my shadow
the intimacy is far
too deep for my liking
