eyes that cast

Jon Nakapalau

out of wanting

to places seen
in dark aura

around the same shadows
that will hide

entering hollow places
that pretend to welcome

yet still I go there
hoping to find hope

but it is only a wisp
ink blots filling clouds

when reflection
is darkened

by the eclipse of desire
that so often comes

in month of lonely tracking
when the moon smiles

her marble grin of indifference.

    Good emotive write Jon. Indifference can be so painful.
