SHADOW DANCER
always, blinded by the light
glowing in their shadow needs
candles burn slowly tonight
hands still dancing against
dark wall attending thoughts
awake again, in romancing
still enthralled, mind fights
sown seeds a heart accepts
feeling the second warmth
building on passion heights
wax burns too slowly down
from a boogie to slow dances
in light, already a has been
a shadow of what might be
feelings, you've already left
a flame's cheap handpuppet
I am nothing more here now
a lonely shadows fan dancer
