"Hide and Seek"

A black soft web,

hiding shadows in my eyes; it's just my palms.

But I feel enveloped in blankness, stuttering yet counting hastily,

still it feels like eternity.

I guess it'd be worth the wait, despite being camouflaged with silhouettes,

so I wait patiently as time forms perspiration on my naked brows.

Till a knock sings in my ears, bringing brightness to my already dead vision;

lifting grey clouds hanging on lids, to blue skies in bliss.

That silver outline I imagined to see, stares back at me mouthing,

"Found you".

I smile: what I waited to hear
