Whispering figures
Dance in the shadows
Where a candle
Flickers
Into music,
Movement

In the shadows,
Shapes:

A woman's body
In a man's hand

Where shadows dreaming lightly
Seem almost silent,
Still;

A charcoal sketch of lovers
Speaking softly

In whispers of light,
Silhouettes embracing
In a pale tongue of flame
Like fingertips
On skin

In darkness
Whispers
The light,

Flickering, wavering
In silhouettes
Embracing

A whisper of light
On the pale wall,
Dancing
