Watching Poem by Valerie Dohren

Watching

Rating: 5.0


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

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.

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
