I have my own doubts and reluctance when it comes to this poetry, if at all it can be called one. I wrote it almost a year ago, and have never come about to posting it. So now you know how much I was hesitant to share this with anyone. It has taken me a year and another three days to have the courage to share this with you or anyone for that matter.
So now before I change my mind, I am going to hit publish, and let you guys judge me..

Where are you hiding away from me?
Why, dear love, why do you hide from me?
Are you hiding beneath the sky?
The sky that is dark and gloomy
The empty face
That is raining down on me?
Are you hiding betwixt the stars?
The stars, magnificent and twinkling
A beautiful constellation
That is shining upon me?
Are you hiding behind the full moon?
A moon, calm and comforting
The complete façade
That is spreading its borrowed light on me?
Are you hiding among the woods?
The woods and trees that seem all lonely
The empty silence
That is lumbering down on me?
Are you hiding behind the sun?
The sun that is bright and radiant
The blinding fury
That is scorching down on me?
Are you hiding behind the mountains?
The mountains that are far and away
The scratchy road
That is soaring upon me?
Are you hiding among the seas and oceans?
The oceans that are waving in
The tumultuous uproar
That is really trembling me?
Are you hiding among the winds?
The winds, rapid and raw
A soft touch
That is truly whistling down on me?
In vain you hide from me
Why, dear love, why do you hide from me?
