Seeing Too Much(Is A Form of Blindness)

 

The wizard’s eyes

Became as black

As the ritual of night,

For the crystal ball

Was full of salty water

From the pain

He could not see.

Fears dry drown

In the Dead Sea

Created by self-made immortality.

Images once foreseen

By his third eye

Bleed from fatal wounds

Through hearts treason.

His final breathes

Generate a dust storm

That will fade between

The boards in the floor

He was too mighty

To look upon.

Now six feet under

The flesh becomes a feast

For creatures not worth his time

As he burns in hell

Realizing with all his third eye saw

It was a blind soul

That became his demise.

[J.P. Bristow]

oooh I love a good story.....though not a fan of the font I loved the write!!!

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

what a curious and delightful mind stirring title~ the entire poem feels of a fable~ a lesson in the center if one but closes out sight and takes up vision~ wonderful!

[emmajoy]

Firstly, the font really fits the bill, dark as dark can be. Then to the writing where you've really captured a gothic turn of thought, set the mind thinking about how it is to create the un-needed but miss the obvious. Too much imagination can send logic flying sky high where it does its worst. That third eye sees the truth for what it is, wisely.

Your poetry keeps getting better and better.
