The Restless Hunter





I offered you a glimpse into my heart.
You remained aloof and dared not look.

As if a trap were set to somehow defeat your better judgement.
As if ...
in looking, your own heart would be heard.
As if ...
hearing your own heart

was a pain too great to bear.

And yet ... in a world indifferent to all the things I most value,
from your heart I dare not turn away.

My own heart was made promises,
and now I see the end of my road
with promises unfulfilled.

There are not diversions enough to appease my quest.
There are not goals so beautiful
or treasures so desired.

A prisoner of my nature, I remain ...

The Restless Hunter
