Void
There!
It – the immediately unrecognizable.
The ineffable.
The je ne sais quoi.
You – walking in the rain
In the mists
Obscured – oscuro –
In the shadows
Darkness
Omnipresent
Permeating
Unconsciousness
You – wrapped in a shroud –
Secret, occult
Your mind, your intent
A cloak drawn tight around you
You – warped by reflection
Never fully revealed
Glimpses of you – having seen
And in seeking – sought
That thing
The very lack of it
Pervading – penetrating – filling
Space defined by a hole is still space

A great poem. Very thought provoking. I like the mysterious and shadowy feel.
Nice. I like the inclusion of the French and the terse lines. What is it in us that mystifies attraction?
Thanks Jeffrey. I’ve noticed that my poetry is moving this way more and more of late. I’m glad you liked it.
