The Girl of Diamond EyesA Story by BiataJust a little personal development for you all. Written when dark times were starting to surface to the light in my life.The
girl of diamond eyes that lived beneath the ocean came forth from the tidal
waves one moonlit evening to bring to me a mysterious wooden box. Lifting her
glossy pale skin from the depths of her mothering water, she granted me the
luxury of seeing the tale of her person until now, untold. She
had appeared suddenly from under the waves to my silent boat floating so
effortlessly, and she had reached her hands out to my own, without looking me
in the eye. “Why,
with the tides so clear and the moon so bright would you ever feel it necessary
to abhor me with your greatest treasures?” I asked her. For I found it
impossible for one to give anything of importance to another unless death was
soon to follow. She
responded simply by taking one long finger to her lips and sinking down back
unto the ocean. Until the blackened ink like water would no longer grant me
visual to her beauty. And I could recall not a single syllable leaving her
blued lips. I know now why she had acted so utterly insane. As
the second I opened the box I was given the knowledge of a thousand seas. Of a
thousand lifetimes. I knew not why she had bestowed upon me the box. But I knew why she was so eager to rid it from her
person. One,
to bring me, the silent stranger, the utmost pain and misery. So that, two, the
world could bestow upon my eyes the same diamonds hers had held. As I was given
the truth to it all. I
can tell you not of what I have seen as it will die with the flesh on my body.
I have burned the box. And I have rid the world of the truth. Because
only one year had passed and I have noticed the integrity of my soul withering
away. I
do not sleep, nor do I eat. I
forever fear the ocean from which I loved so dearly a time before. I
will tell you one thing. Do
not go searching for the girl of diamond eyes if you do not wish to distraught
your mind with the box of horrors and heavens. For
no human was meant to see his or her own true identity. © 2013 BiataAuthor's Note
