Inverted Eyes

no desc.

She noticed me glaring

and sat beside me

Mistake my self-righteous indignation

for silent invitation

Gaea's butterflies

through the rain to sit an idle lie

Dreamless silence

disturbed by the slow ripples

caused by my finger

scratching at the language of her eyes

and marrying the devil

during morning mass

"Look," I wanted to say,

my insides shining through me.

Dead friends preached

exhaling

but failing to inhale

each unrhymed word 

pulled with the tendons from the tongue

in a feeding frenzy

The people with inverted eyes

kind and then punished by my crimes

Heads down a heavy prayer

acidic rolls over the dirty floor

(discomfort of nemesis)

grey high eyes cry

all inverted eyes cry

mistake my sickened smile

and in a frenzy feed the sky

Tyhe stanza of rippling waves caused by your fingers... wow.
in this poem you have placed words in a duel and let them play each other out.
in the aftermath you saw the picture they'd fought out... lol yea, whaever:P
thy talent is undoubtedly glorious
