    LOVE REMAINS ENIGMA
    You look back at me again
    From the stopped-time photo
    I snapped of you the morning
    Harsh words dribbled from our mouths
    And we threw ourselves away

    Those same turbulent sea-blue eyes
    The cresting blond wave of your hair
    Those unsmiling closed lips
    Meant to remind me forever
    Love remains enigma

    Where have you taken yourself
    Where do you live now still hiding
    All the myriad personas
    You wore like your own thick skin
    Chameleon-like, deceitful

    You will stare that way
    in your picture-perfect pose
    Till the proverbial cows come home
    Eliciting sorrow from these dark eyes
    That cannot turn away
