Yesterday... the same cruel story,
So vainly I try to squeeze something
Out of its tired corpse,
What's to remember?
Some random simulacres smiling like the blind old enemy
Called Faith,
Or the rest of the sacre nothing?

Morning... How I hate mornings!... So,
While drinking the last cup of bloody tears
I've seen my eyes reflected on its bottom,
They looked so strange at me:
"Why are you so?",
With a cruel view which couldn't hide
Their endless sadness
And solitude...

They saw my real shadow in the rain of Nothingness
Staring at me... I couldn't run... Neither avoid their punishment,
I tried to die, but I failed;

Now another play needs my acting,
So I'll hide my demons between daily angels for a while,
But the eyes... the eyes... the eyes!

Eyes

So I'll hide my demons between daily angels for a while,
But the eyes... the eyes... the eyes!
My Eyes!

This poem spoke to me. Great job!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
