AN: Thanks to phantom130 5's review I have been inspired to write you all another poem.

This is Shikumaru remebering how he came to terms with his love for Temari.

Its not fantastic coz i bolted it together in about 20 minutes, but I hope you like it anyways

Enjoy ^_^

Wind and Shadows

My heart was as a cloud,

Sluggishly hanging above the world.

A seemingly solid structure.

Steady and strong.

Stuck in it's sleepy ways.

I moved for no man.

But for a woman?

For that woman?

Her blue eyes

Where as the sky,

Desiring to trap me

within their flawless frames.

Her golden locks,

That where as the sun,

Broke through my surface,

casting me in a disorientating light.

Her slender arms sought to

drag me from my trouble less sky

To the unknown earth

Bellow.

She desired my heart

and didn't care that I met her proclamations

of love with those two meaningless words:

"I know."

But she soon changed tact.

As a tornado

She struck

Ripping through my heart

With gusts

Too sharp to ignore,

Yet too soft to hold.

It was then that I was defeated.

For wind casts no shadows.

And without casting a shadow,

The feelings she installed within me

Could not be controlled.

I felt myself plummet from the sky,

And thought that with that new feeling

strangling at my heart,

I would surely die.

But my impact with love's solid ground was cushioned

Within her breezy embrace.

Our hearts seemed then, to entwine

within the finest of lase

When the next time, she proclaimed her love to me

she seemed more troubled then she used to be.

But this time I met her with a smile and a passionate kiss,

And answered her with this:

"I do indeed, love you so.

For you are the wind to my shadow."

AN: Please review as this makes me write more ^_^
