Watching in the mellowed light
Through the darkness, through the night
Eyes that pierce and eyes that burn
Eyes that twist and eyes that turn
Watching every move you make
Every single breath you take
Are they there to steal your soul
Glistening, and black as coal
Do they claw into your heart
Ripping every thought apart
Haunting yet your quiet mind
Do you heed them, are you blind
Can you see them, do you hide
Shall you mock them, shall you chide
Are your own eyes ….. open wide
Haunting, lurking type of poetr at its best Valerie. More please!
Oh my. The master at work. Valerie you are indeed a wonderful poet.
An excellent piece of poetry in content and character. Something or someone is watching us all the time. We have to stay alert and not get tied up. A well penned write. Most appreciative.
Love reading it again and again, imagination....Lurking shadows
As I read the poem, I was forming my own interpretation, which virtually collapsed when I read the notes. I tend to agree with thee uneasy magnetic feelings of Theodora and Hari and experienced something like that myself. Still the images linger in my mind. Very interesting poem
The devil within lurking and watching has been excellently brought out! Lovely, Valerie!
The devil within has a strong presence, he works even one's eyes are opened wide...the beats are perfect...your poems are the best stuff for loud recital! ! !

The title is the simplest one compared to others of yours, but the whole poem is still huge and so beautiful, and it set the title again as the door before a poem reading..lovely! and true_Soul
