Love Poem: Paramour

Paramour

I watched the yellow
 ripple in your reflection,
 and as it danced on water
 it was mirrored in sense 

Dreams quivered
 in plunging tears
 but a falling stars
 rare effulgence
 revealed this sub rosa 

That tripping shadow
 moving into the night
 carries your secret
 bound into desire,
 a paramour of night 

Still, watching,
 her bowed head stitched
 into the shadows edge
 always regretting the stab
 of never knowing love
