Neither Man
Two men cross on an empty field
 No word spoken, they know the world
 Like open books they read each other
 Is truth or façade taking place here?
 
 The trees bare and stretching tall
 Like eerie fingers resurrected
 Cold wind bites the skin
 Though neither man resents it
 
 They stare in silence, darkness enveloping
 Twilight soon fades to black
 The two men never dare moving
 Is truth of façade taking place here?
 
 Snow falls silently on the empty field
 Leaving everything in white
 It slides down the neck like daggers
 Though neither man resents it
 
 Perfection is at hand
 Both men can feel it
 The time has come to rise up and rule
 Is truth or façade taking place here?
 
 Higher and higher they rise to meet
 Perfection is knowledge, and knowledge, perfection
 The light ahead blinds even God
 Though neither man resents it
 
 In time perfection slips away
 From both men, from everyone
 It can’t be gained, much less forced
 Is truth or façade taking place here?
 
 Disappointment runs throughout
 The snow begins to thicken
 Time keeps ticking
 Though neither man resents it
 
 Two men standing on an empty field
 Each turn and go separate ways
 Never looking back
 Is truth or façade taking place here?

Cool. I liked the repeating lines. I think that your other peice, about the girl in the lace dress, is the better one though. Still, this poem is pretty neat.
Maybe you could check out some of my stuff and comment?
I can't wait to read more of your work!
