Listen to poem:
A stranger's haunting gaze I noticed their eyes question my presence They ruminate I'll show them my wave Where have I taken me? Thoughts upon another within an uncomfortable procedure Breaking through the once normal to achieving the better Can it be possible, I do wonder In the baggage unknowing of others, fleeting glimmers, Releasing to forget forever for a brighter replacement Beaten into the ground, scars to show, odds of letting go I do ponder For the appreciation from another Can then we find our worth together? Or am I getting led "down the garden path"? Poring over the stars to a delusional future Far too long from "want", is this lust? Can I rise above my imperfections to enhance my persisting strength Felt from afar within another's affinity? Can it continue? Truth will show eventually The stranger's contemplation from being uncertain in other's intentions From what has been truly felt within ...Do we now have a connection? Stay away from my darkness! I would never wish this upon another As the stranger walks away To another's black mirror

Darkness can, indeed, be rather uncomfortable. Nice piece, Lee. Thank you.
