Shadowy Shadorma

something there
always behind me
not so tame
my shadow
causing clashes and crashes
swept away at night

will you come
out to play with me
I adore
shifting ways
wind wrapping the changing sky
your grip on my heel

a tide's line
left in the dark beach
barefoot now
my shadow
can you see the full moon
laughing at you again
