Love In Shadows

side by side we stand
in mine hand she stands embraced
              our shadows cross into a crucifix
where upon we crucify ourselves

                                   while on the cross
                            the spears of intimacy pierce deeper and deeper
                     in the intertwined souls
             out flows the pleasurable feelings for blood

          as it touches the solid ground below
the blood transforms into light
          shining out of the window now open 
to outside dark atmosphere allover

            the light fly higher tessellating into red diamonds
                    and we remain upright transfixed
                           standing side by side
                                 in a meaningful embrace
