Shadow and Bone

will you steal time with me
or just seduce and fuck me secretly?
do you live your own stereotype
or just imitate the shadows you wish were your own?

if the world expanded
no further than your welcome matted door
who would call from beyond the wood
that swings open to expose a barricade of bricks

who would come to knock it down
when the morter dried between stones held far enough apart
their similarities will never touch?
squeezed secretly behind the wood where shadows cast unseen

take a walk where no path leads
drop the glare that guards your secrets from me
unconfined jewels mingle loosely
under the lid of the box with locks protecting them

all that lies between our love
unsolid darkness seen by all who witness light
unseen clarity hides a hard hearts cage
until exposure proves forever is too late


**I wasn't sure if I should post this in the erotic or dark poetry cats. It has a little of both but not alot of either.
