Fear

simmering vapor dazzling the eyes flowing puddle distorting the vision


absent to touch real to sight compelling enigma in the midday sun



intractable as shadow shifting as the sea sand



roaring louder than the lioness robbed of her cobs confining all to their dens



the faint tremble at your coming visions of graves coffins and the undertaker overcome the senses


refusing to pay obeisance but challenging the darkness


exiting the mind and vanishing the day i met you
 

like the mirage you bowed to courage
