Shadow Girls
Within the shadows of my mindI found her there once upon a timeAppearing vaguely yet somehow intenseI'd never seen her before nor sinceWithin that drifting subliminal fogI stared at her, wondering what she did wantIt's in the nature of such dreamsThat meaning oozes from between the seamsShe was a shadow girlShe did not walk the actual earthShe never took a breath of airBut she was extraordinaireWithin the precincts of Dada sleepAnother one soon appeared in the deepsThis time a doppel of palpable fleshOh, Beverly, my secret crushShe was the Baptist preacher's daughterThe goddess on infatuation's altarAnd in my young dreams of yearning woeIt was so sweet to suffer nightly blowsShe was a shadow girlLetras de cancionesWith coyness unfurledTo veil her heart and mock my feelingsOh, Beverly, even now I'm reelingThere have been so many shadow girls Over the years in those opium worlds They leave their stamp of delectable painThen abscond to even subtler planesWhere do those shadow girls goWhat do they signify that I should knowAre they harbingers of transcendenceToward which I strive with a lover's lament
