Prey



The mind weaves...(or is it the heart)
Paints vivid poetry
Adorns it with all the beauty...care ...love
And turns to me.

With eyes so innocent,
Those of a child lost in the mist
Makes me wonder -
What a whore its soul,behind
Those virgin eyes.
I push it away - from a distance
Dreaded even is a brush of it.

Yet, it keeps up the chase
Till I am compelled to forget,
Its existence is but that of glass
And of my own making.
It takes a form - to me - ghostly
Crooked, malicious and out to devour
Every bit of life left in this body.

I run - but where to?
For try as I may, can I run away -
From my own shadow?
