a shadow walked into my quiet room
but it wasn't dark, so i could describe it well for you
there were azure eyes that surely gleamed
with hair of fire, and lips like soft pearls from the sea
the hours passed but still it lingered near
a presence there, fully aware of none but me
and when the time arrived to take my leave
each exit step was haunted by the vision seen
i wandered through the sultry night
just to free my tangled mind
a thousand faces must have passed me by
still the shadow from the day held its spell all the same
i didn't know where to find her
until the morning arrived
