I will live believing in your loyalty
Although your behavior is suspicious.
I see and respect your personality,
But I think you've become audacious .

The shadow of love seems like love,
But the heart cannot be deceived,
Persuading the mind is not enough,
When an external signal is received.

And I look closely at your face,
And I'm trying to find some changes.
I make a frantic and unthinkable race,
I build my thoughts into battle phalanxes.

How like Eve's apple doth thy beauty grow,
If thy sweet virtue answer not thy show!*

* The last two lines from William Shakespeare's Sonnet 93. So shall I live, supposing thou art true.

Dear Yuri!
I really like 👍 your sensual poem of love ❤!
Bravo 👏!

You’ve written that the shadow of love seems like love?
But how many shadows replace the similar stuff!
Friendship, affection, respect, relation and others.
As if you have a deal with not humans, but sculptures!

But you seem to be a bit or even much surprised?
You?! Who could be a guru here and may be a guide!
Through plenty of, numerous, multiple, manifold shadows,
According to thoroughly planned your accountant's schedules!

The shadows of love!

But no one should feel anger, hatred, resentment or disgust,
Because the only guilty in all is that apple 🍎 from paradise!

I wish you only the best!

Faithfully yours,

Thank you very much, dear Natalia, for your poetic review!

Shadows disappear primarily at night,
When we sense the absence of light!
