Chasing the Shadows of My Eyes
Spring 1999

Poems relay feeling
As is the purpose of a poem?
But they can conceal
Disguise as well as reveal

Understanding is comfort
But it turns that much more real

My eyes dance in illusion
Hiding not how I feel
They never like to lie
Obviously detesting the veil

Words are then the eyes of a poem
They give birth
To the meaning you take
Chasing what is cast
And the reflection of thought

The intriguing inspire curiosity
But broadcast their pain
Though understanding is comfort
It becomes that much more real
