Stranger
Music - "Revelations" - Tristan Barton
I’ll be your Mona Lisa of intention
scattered across a thousand guesses
one image of unshattered
plain
serenity
appeared in platitudes misspoke
so silent
an enigma to uncover
a smile not there for you
but for a time
long gone
the portrait of a present lost
in symbols misremembered
a sight too effortlessly
reconned
misunderstood
maybe
or not?
imagined
interpreted
or projected
I’ll be an absence
in plain sight
presumably forgotten
a gaze there
waiting
for horizons
ever-moving
of eyes
seeking half-truths
meeting deception
at the verge of
a confusion
exposed
to an imprisoned
self-reflection.
