Under the black keys with white identities
you lie wrapped in my unwritten words
I search among the black and whites
not knowing which shade shrouds your form
for I need to feel the intense gaze once more
to burn a fresh path upon barren landscapes
It matters little to those who glimpse the scars
they do not befriend a fire eating them hollow
Flame upon flame leaps up, licks and curls into smoke
Ash on my cheeks, rain in my soul
I watch as you try to shove back the worded walls
I see you shadow the transient rays of free light
You emerge briefly from in between my lines
and I kiss you once and run for cover.

” Blind man’s buff ” , is both a delightful and a captivatingly playful poem. With a knockout line such as , ” you lie wrapped in my unwritten words ” , the reader knows intuitively that they are in for an excellent poetic experience !
