Eyes


Your eyes

Like fire

Swirling,

Clawing,

Grasping,

Falling

and rising again.

Shooting away sparks,

dying

and rising again.

Twisting,

Tortured,

Dying.

And yet,

Bright,

Intense,

Sharp,

Kind.

When you feel the pain--

for real--

You never

Ever

want anyone else

to feel that way.

Your eyes.

They convey your feelings, 

Your thoughts,

Your past,

Your love.

And that

Is why

I love

Your eyes.

Hi there! Most of what I do has repetition in it. Like, a lot of repetition. I mostly write short horror/suspense stories, but I've recently taken a shine to dark poetry. I've also managed to orchestrate a full length novel, but it's still in the editing process. A long, long editing process.
