When They Would Lose Their Shadows

The scent she always
wore to bed
was so much more
inviting
than just a simple
invitation ..
Or an understated
statement
might have been ..
But rather,
it was more,
a complex extension
of her own
near nakedness
and her subsequent
intentions ..
Oh’ what games
and gifts,
she would later offer
play and ply ..
When his statue
by the fountain
in our beloved garden ..
Would then,
for a while at least ..
Be sure,
to misplace its own
shadow,
alongside that of her own ..
