Mystery

Doe-eyed beauty
finding her way
though serpentine
mountainous paths
scared like a deer
on being approached
by hunter males

she slips away like air
dissolving in the clouds
not leaving a clue
of her origins
and now hunters
descend the same paths
scared…

  1. I love the way you wove the mystery of the doe-eyed beauty, Reena, and left your reader with it, letting her slip away like air ‘dissolving in the clouds’, and with deft use of the ellipsis.
