ONE SHADOW

I lift my pen to write    
A token to my love    
From the soft warm night    
Come impressions which move    
A slow sigh in my heart    
And a smile, deep around my mouth.    
But as for words no part    
Can near the truth    
And feel your arms around me,    
Say how adoringly you talk,    
Or whisper to the world that we    
Make one shadow where we walk.
