Shadows of Love

Shadows of Love

In twilight's hush, where shadows creep,

A love unspoken, secrets deep.

A stolen glance, a yearning sigh,

A love that dares not meet the eye.

A whispered word, a touch so light,

A fleeting dance in fading light.

Forbidden fruit, a tempting taste,

A love embraced, a love misplaced.

The weight of duty, honor's hold,

Chains of constraint, a story told.

Two hearts entwined, a silent vow,

Yet shadows linger, cast them down.

Jealousy's sting, a bitter brew,

Love's tapestry, in shades of blue.

Fear of discovery, whispers spread,

The shadow of love, where dreams lie dead.

But even in darkness, embers glow,

A hidden flame, refusing to go.

The strength of hearts, a silent plea,

To break the chains, and finally be free.

Will shadows fade, with morning's light?

Or will they linger, through the night?

A chance encounter, a whispered name,

Can shadows deepen, or love's true flame

Embrace the dawn, and cast them out?

For love's true strength, dispels all doubt.

Though shadows linger, a fading trace,

True love will find its rightful place.
