Veil  Of  Time

Masked
through the veil
of time
eyes
beckon me
compelling
tantalizing
as mesmerized
I walk unheeding
weathering the sands
leaving a mirage
of footprints
on the heart of
this desert
as the winds
playfully
make a mockery
of my vanity

eyes
that helped
me find
the oasis
in my heart
footsteps
in heart prints
supportive
willing me on....
