The Shadow Waltz

I wrote this in a moment of longing, sitting alone with a cup of tea, the steam rising like the words in my mind. It was for someone who felt like a paradox - a storm and a calm, a shadow and a light - someone who made me feel both broken and whole in the same heartbeat. ○○○●●●○○○ You are the fire, that melts all the snow, A storm soft and quiet, both fierce and slow. Each glance is a dagger, so sharp and so deep, Yet safe in your arms, my soul falls to sleep. Oh, you are the bloom, on frost in the cold, A beauty so fragile, yet timeless and bold. Your words are a flame, so tender, so kind, A sacred refrain that echoes my mind. You are the shadow, beneath the bright sun, The duel that lingers, yet never is won. Your love is an art, so daring, so fine, A madness untouched, by the measure of time. M-TM
