Eyes: Vol. 2
Screaming yourself alive
Pellets of sweat
Batter your face
Tone def
Screaming away the silence
That leaves you alone
To walk with your memories
Every time you stop
You fall to your knees
Catching your breath
As you brace your self against the wall
The best thing
To happen to you today
Was creating a beautiful mess
That you can't
Run away from
Every righteous plan
Has failed you
You bare the scars
To remind yourself
That you wont allow
Your pain to heal
In time you will realize
All that you wanted
Was a moment to feel
In the darkest corners
Of your perception
Their isn't a moment to steal
In the darkness
My mind escapes me
Expanding to boundless horizons
No reality to entertain me
No mortality will distract me
With only demons
To protect me
My third eye
Draws a line of sight
Something to guide
An endless night
I take it all away
To construct a world
Without vanity
Where our eyes
Will correct our insecurities
With the beauty of a harlot
And the sweet taste of vomit
Will i arrive at a destination?
Or remain boundless
In the mysterious void
Of my mind
Chip away
Your old skin Your old sins Have a taste Of your tongue And its bitter words Set a date Evolving backwards Into a primate Looking for leadership Seeking Something to dictate Evaluate Before you debate Think of the penalties That you cannot erase Stop staring Concentrate Blink your eyes Remove the sun From the sky Beat your heart With your fist You wanted to kill You nearly missed Tocks ticking Liquids dripping Raining lies Draining luck Some days evaporate Still overwhelmed With that vacant stare Shrugging your shoulders Running a muck

AUTHORThank you Petra Vlah, i really liked the way i opened up that poem as well. Allot of times i like the poems that unfold in the beginning and leave questions to be asked at the ending.
Liesl, thank you again for the encouraging words! I'm glad you have enjoyed some of my poetry.
SkySlave, I think you got a gift for writing poems. You got a way of putting words together in a poem. Well done.
"Screaming away the silence
That leaves you alone
To walk with your memories"
Those are incredible lines and set the perfect tone for the rest of the poem

Thanks! I've always had some kind of fascination with eyes. Whether it be physically, emotionally or metaphorically. One day in my my spare time i decided to paint eyes all over my body (as in the photos above). Ive actually done things like this many times. I don't have any explanation for it. All i know that it fills my mind and then fills the page! I sure had a blast doing it!
Incredible poetry and pics.
