Curtain Call

It’s time for curtain call
With its luxurious brocade
The opaqueness of lush texture
Cascading to the ground

Suddenly it’s lights out
As I sit frozen in my seat
A blur of darkness before my eyes
Dense with stirred emotion

Unresolved nebulous ambiguity 
Before the finality of the call
I leave trying to walk it off
But just can’t shake the haunting

Bathed in an opaque and enigmatic fog
Its clutching shadow cast upon my heart

This poem is haunting; it will stay with me all day and maybe for the week.
