One shot sunday




My eyes breathe - for me
my eyes see - and yet I am blind
Salvaged, ravaged, famished and yet savage
they hypnotize..

Joy they know not
are used to insipid sighs
a mere flicker of light for a while
bristling for a life to revolutionize..

my lips are sealed but my eyes will speak
for bound and gagged I am still alive....

    It is always the eyes I watch when a person speaks, that is where the truth be found at.

    The eyes are the gateway to the soul, I do wonder what runs through this gentlemans mind as he's being photographed!

    Those speaking, breathing eyes... exactly. "Salvaged, ravaged, famished and yet savage
    they hypnotize.." Hypnotic lines too.
