Poetic Series: Shadows | Chronicle of a Beautiful Haunting
by Luis S. González-Acevedo

Shadows
Your eyes cast shadows
over desolate lands
of lifeless sorrows
where I’ve made my stands.
Jet-black strands
of hair radiate the morrow.
Deep, dark eyes and pale of hands
fill my soul’s deep hollow.
Your naked back on the canvas stand
and its cadent brushes with tips of hair
paint the lustful wetlands
of my surrender with tremors left to bear.
–Chronicle of a Beautiful Haunting will be featured in my novel stories of a beautiful haunting… surreal in April of 2021–
