Who Are You

Seduced and Abandoned

By: Charles Giuliano - Feb 16, 2016

Who

Who are you
Seemingly familiar
Then not
Spectral face
Haunting
Hints of apricot
Lots of mineral
Perhaps volcanic
Savoring the taste
Flavors of
The past
Note in a bottle
Once Cabernet
With sorbet
Cast adrift
Desperate clue
Sent by you
Marooned
Tropical and topical
In the archipelago
Stranded
Tiny island of
Memory
Evoking presence
I have you not
Come near
That I might
Grab your throat
Choking out
Truth from
Elusive oracle
Solving the riddle
Now rudely
Mocking me
With your
Cheshire grin
How grim
This reaper
Of abandoned
Souls
