Duplicity

Completed 2012.

Barely sharing the vengefulness that they sought 

Sulking from the offenses

Not knowing if one was caught

Feeling the riddles trickle through the cracks

Hidden only by abstractions

Leading here points the tracks

The trifling mistake that fractured into a canyon

Lost was the rectification

By design of one's companion

Desires astutely drift into the darkness of a hollow

Tainted by self indulgence

Nearly concluding not to follow

Reviews

It sounds nice, I think I like it. But it's a little enigmatic, I'm not quite sure what it's about.

Marcus, thanks for the review. I do agree, "enigmatic" is the right word. I've moved away from this over the last few years but it was prevalent in my earlier writings nonetheless.

I like that about poetry though, sometimes I will write a poem about something, and someone else will read it and think it's about something completely different!

Partners in crime? Maybe?
