Never my quiet eyes.


She never noticed Neoglory fades so slowly In her eyes And in my mind It is a pine Felled by ax Pulled by twine Defy my quiet eyes She never noticed She never saw me Though She always found my hand She tried Too hard i cried Too soft Both died Too quiet Challenge my quiet eyes She never noticed i, Love Bane and lost dove Her, another picture on the shelf Rummage through Don’t care No one should too Ignore my quiet eyes She never noticed She died, for now When will she return -Alive half, or full Bartender fills her cup Lipstick stains clear the glass Lost in Columbus, paradox of thought The cup Empties itself Truly it fought Avoid my quiet eyes She never noticed She tosses her mail Ball and chain Over shoulder and tail i, he Learn what she misread then She will not send Can not Read again Illiteracy to which rend Knowledge is no cure A poison Like hyperbole I set my lure Flee my quiet eyes. She never noticed The mail stacks up Outside the dust door Fires rage and fall i, it, they, are gone But were they here Do not cry nor smile on sunset or dawn Be it yours or mine Fear it once again Set my quiet eyes
