Harper Souls Through the Eyes.

A poem for a college writing assigment

 

Harper Souls Through the Eyes.

 

Coal black eyes pierce my soul

Surrounding my heart

within a deep black hole.

 

Crying eyes, tearing

A heart in shreds,

Cries shatter dreams, waking

 

This mother, as thunder vibrates,

She sees the tears in the rain

Dark black clouds lighting radiates

 

the Sky.

A mother’s sleep shatters,

Eyes, deep black, mirror her pain.

 

Red, lightning strikes,

The skies, as a Cobra

Draws bright red, blood, in bites

 

Pulsing veins, beating hearts,

Thunder, drums, heating

Adrenalines rising,

 

As cries pierce the night,

Winds whisper, a breeze

Chilling deep within the soul bright

 

Lights aluminates, heavens skies,

Listen closely do you hear the blame?

Leaves rustle, ghosts hustle.

 

Singling lullabies, a mother tries,

To quiet, the baby who cries.

Darkness surrounds the heart,

 

Eyes, black branding memories, searing

Hazel green eyes tearing,

Memories weight bearing.

Author's Note

Inspiration for a Poet, Harper, I forgot his first name, but he too lost a child and wrote about the soul being in ones eyes.
