dancing shadows **draft

suggestions?

a pair of dancing shadows

waltz around the flame 

silent ash they tiptoe 

across the creamy page 

in grace and weightlessness they swirl 

and coo the flame to rise 

casting their pale silhouettes 

on the wall before our eyes 

strange and seductive is their dance

we watch as shadows lengthen 

the budding flower of our romance 

by heart our bonds they strengthen
