The Hooded Man

Fog so deep, I can barely see

No light is surrounding me

Whispering winds tell me lies

I cannot see what is on the other side

Pellets of rain drown my skin

So cold, so wet, so desperate

A roar of thunder in the distance

A crack of lightning to deny my existence

Lengthy shadows appear before me

To turn around one...two...three...

Familiar silk to fill my hand

In front of me is the hooded man

Leaning in to warm his heart

Our lips so close, yet so far apart

His breath confining, warm as smoke

Yet I know there is something hidden in his cloak
