Moonlit Dark

by Charles Hill - Not entered

I hide,
 in that which is me.
Always cover'd,
 always hidden.
My eyes,
 my deceitful eyes
and the darkness that is me.
I hide,
 protected, shaded by known
shadow,
 living in, lying in,
content, I am not.

My shadow, is as flat as my falsity,
 and as cold as my love.
Truth others, hurts as
 much as lies do now, my
conscience, my inconvenient conscience;
Or should I say others?

And well as your nite comes
I blend rather easily, hidden
 amoungst moonlit dark.
and as ones sun
 emerges I contrast, white, and black
known, I'm not, or rather I don't know?

You make it entirely easy,
and I make it fairly austere, for me,
or if it may be the other way
 around I'm not sure?

Do you?
We all lie, where is the line drawn?
