Looking Into Hollow Eyes

Lost years echo through the silence reflections shimmer on yesterday's dark days words float like dead leaves down drains of honey-covered tongues dripping from hollow eyes of passion exposed as a cure time rushes into small rooms of expectations lives entwine in a dance of convenience stripping away souls to forget crippled emotions that lay hungry and starved in dark pits of loneliness pain flows down its walls of anguish leaving pools of nightmares that ripples over covered eyes creating cocoons that hang on the eyelids of time exposed to colder winds of tomorrow hoping to survive unrestrained to wait and die another death from a faceless form whose eyes are never satisfied wearing exhausted smiles paid for by a lonely soul craving to be loved 1/29/18

....the whole poem is a sheer mastery of words channeled through the pangs of longing and love. The imagery is perfect in it's construction to climax. My favourite part of the poem ..."creating a cacoon that hangs on the limb of time exposed to colder winds of tomorrow"...cocoon's are very strong, they can withstand the most ferocious winds. Nature works in mysterious ways. Visions of a person sitting in a cacoon on a calm veranda waiting for the winds of time and elusive love.
