Array ( [sid] => 92441 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Eyes [time] => 2005-04-27 15:08:18 [hometext] => Something a little different from my other poems... is it good.. i dont know. [bodytext] => I jolt out of a restless sleep.
That sound,
Where is it coming from?
Deep in the shadows,
A low growl climbs the walls.
From all directions,
It closes in.
My chest constricts,
My heart pounds.

What is it?
The walls are closing in around me,
I close me eyes,
“It’s not real.”
“It’s not real.”

One at a time I open my eyes
My heart skips a beat,
All is silent,
As stare into a set of glowing yellow eyes.
Pure evil radiating through them.
Terrified yet strangely soothed
Drawn
I sink into the depths of it’s eyes
What gruesome fate awaits me?
Blissful as it seems.
My body seems to float.
I’m scarcely aware of what is taking place.
A sharp pain of pure ecstasy,
Sinks into my neck.
My head is spinning,
My whole body tingles.
Confused and disoriented
I drift off into nothing.

Once again
I jolt from my slumber
The thirst,
Its agony
Nothing quenches it
No water
No fluid.
What’s wrong with me?
Pain all over
What happened to me
In the pits of those eyes?

This was very different from most of your writes but it was still very good. You can really feel the pain and loss of this poem. Another good piece by a very good writer and I thank you for sharing it. Take care Tye and I look forward to more good reads…..Steve

*JUMPS UP AND APPLAUDS FURIOUSLY!*

Incredible! Such depth and urgency in such simple words... Deliciously morbid, what new life has those yelow eyes given you? What do you see within them? Is that where your fate lies? So many questions left unanswered... I hope there's a sequel, lol. Beautifully written, cheri Tye. Diverse from your other poems, yet, just as lovely. Your 'voice' is maturing... I can tell you are growing with your poetry... Thank you so much for sharing this with us! All my love. Forever,

Your friend/fan,

Stephy! *who is utterly in love with this piece!*
