Strangers

I think I was the only stranger whose shadow danced in your light

Like moon’s penumbra on your window when the stars aligned.

Following your luminous trace, I was running from your forest fire lies

And when you abandoned me, I finally found the road I built when I was naïve.

I knocked on your door when I lost my muse, didn’t have lesser thoughts you let me in.

Fire crackling in your hearth with your eyes so blue, perfect for starting an evening

“You’re the stranger whose shadow I chase in crowds.” You said.
