fixed eyes.

abyss beyond fixed eyes

tunnel vision, spotlight predator

whose fixed eyes glare back in exponential blaze

in the periphery, branches and whim

mourn the fixed-eyed alias

who long ago deviated from her indigenous 

children of the forest

Born of soil and organic compound

beams of respiring sun

throbbing to the rhythm of life

but we keep on, 

fixed-eyed, 

burning and sure.

the rain of blood swimming through invisible roots

poisoned, wilting union 

all in the name of the enemy

vacant, and branded in your eyes.

Oh, this is a delight. The eyes were and will always speak the truth unlike the lips which contort and distort words any which way.

[Tate Morgan]

The eyes say more than the lips could ever say

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

Deep stuff. Very metaphysical and searing. Tapping into the deep roots of the muse and reflecting back the mirror of humanities malaise.
Good stuff.

[Hello, Goodbye]

an intense piece of writing , a glaring stare as the crowd of humanity marches to a death drum into the void .
