    SHE STOOD IN A SHADOWED DOORWAY

    by Robert Davidson

    She stood in a shadowed doorway
    Awaiting the appointed time of delight
    Eyes mocking love as
    Lips of lust gleam in a moon-blanched night.

    She stood in a shadowed doorway
    When I shattered the dark with a light
    Claiming a fierce kiss on
    The porcelain pallor of a face so white.

    She stood in a shadowed doorway
    The touch of her body against mine stuns
    As our sexes meet
    Vaster than explosions of burst suns.

    Our lone paths cross, then are blown apart forever
    As I got what I wanted, and she her cash did recover.
    The scowl of pleasure's lips now scorn me ever
    Point down to the pit, mocking this sated lover.

    She stood in a shadowed doorway
    Her look of reproach unnerves, conceives
    A cool challenge while
    My lust blew away like dead winter leaves.

    thats impressive... its kind of cold and callous, with this wired contrast of colour of real living pulsating life force.... its really good in that respect. I can see how the shadowed doorway is an example of that contrast...It makes us think of an empty dark space and then underneath it is this luscious living creature. i loved the contrast...[obviously!] thanks for sharing!
