Veil

So now you have explored the entire 
park, and you think you have seen 
everything; but then you catch a 
glimpse of a mysterious torch, a veil.  

At first glance all you see is something 
of a reddish cloud. As you approach, 
a cold shiver slides through your spine 
like spatters of rain  
sliding off your face. 

So now you have taken a couple of 
steps. Your curiosity has increased, for 
you are wondering “Who” or “what” is 
behind….  

The closer you get the more your ears 
pick up howling sounds silently 
whispering,”What’s behind the veil?” 

You step in front of me, extending 
your hand to reach out to me, but 
the familiar bitter taste of the desert 
tangles between your teeth, and the 
scent of violent fear furiously floods 
your veins as you approach my 
Forbidden Gates.  

I don't know what I was doing when I was writing this poem. Now I think about it it confuses me, but maybe you guys understand it 😤😥😂😂.
Thanks for reading.
