Let the shadow of my passing
cast no darkness on the day
For we live each moment
Only once
And then move blithely
on our way.

Lying lightly on the bed,  
Your hair is golden in the moonlight.
And frames your face
Like beauty in the night.

Silver features soft in slumber;
Eyes closed tight in sleep ;
Your kissing lips part gently
When you breathe.

But I'm afraid I'll never tell you
How i feel with you so near
I just watch you from the shadows;
And you don't even know I'm here.

Another hour or so in darkness
Then I'll sneak away unseen
But I'll be back again tomorrow
As long no-one knows I've been

Here's a haiku  version. Less creepy.

Beauty in moonlight
Dark flowing hair, silk-soft skin
Watching you asleep

Revealing nothing
of the details
of the darkness
of my mind
I take your hand
And walk your life away.

Daylight slips away
Stealing beauty
Leaving growing darkness,
despair and
deeds too dark for sleep

I enjoyed it when i played with you
And I hope that you did too
But your scattered limbs & silence
Suggest this isn't true
No wonder my pupils at school worry that I'm  a serial killer.

If I speak too slow
I lose you
Too fast
I scare you off
I need your words
to help me play
This cryptic
game of love
Written to you, whoever you are.
Thanks to Lainey for spotting a mistake/ querti g an poasible interpretation. . Now corrected.

I wake up on a cool December morning,
Look at the clock which says five 'til eight.
However, it's still as dark as it was two hours prior--
That's when I knew it was a Sam *****
Kind of day.

Sleepy drizzle cast a steely sheen on
The street; while bustling cars within it played.
I just turned over and went back to sleep,
Perhaps feeling a bit lazier than ol' Mister *****.

A couple of hours later I'm preparing for
A lunch appointment,
Part of social dues I suppose I must pay;
The waitress at the restaurant says she likes
My coat and hat,
Of course, I tell her, well, you know,
It's just a Sam ***** kind of day.

Amidst the heavy mist I go to the store without a list
Only knowing that a Christmas desire must be assuaged.
Chocolate is what's required and to this end I retired;
That and an Americano on this
Sam ***** kind of Day.

Which way?
I have no idea.
Where are the options?
There are none.
Well I will carry on.
No good moaning
nothing left for groaning
Just turn left
it is the nearest to the heart.
What are the options?
They have gone.
Carry on.
