Out of the shadows
Such beauty he entails
Elegance before his eyes
Within his heart doth dwell


Her lips are that of crimson
It takes his breath away
Wanting to hold her in his arms
Forever on this day



As she turns amongst the shadows
Their eyes entwined within the light
The passion felt between them
Engulfs his soul with ecstasy and delight



Skin as soft as silken mist
Yearning just to touch
Eyes of burning amber
He needs her love so much


But she belongs to another
This passion they must not reveal
Just a dream between them
Forever is fulfilled
