A Childs Dead Eyes

By WinterGrave

gazing threw the window,
black deseration is what i see
a child's dead eyes are staring at me
dead eyes always stare
taunting, begging, pleading

moving to the window
i close the shutters
a misty dust rises from rotten wood
and piercing sounds i here
burning me
laughter, enjoying my pain.

run away,
seek to lose this illusion
but it holds fast,
i close my eyes,
dead eyes is what i see.

left now with only tainted memory's
the guilt inside me,
the pain has gotten the best of me,
thrusted back into the dark,
into eternity
a spiritual eclipse

    this has nothing to do with murder, although the eyes i see are of a dead child.~~~Grave

    I have seen eyes when I close my own...I still do. Though I have never murdered anyone, You can never forget someone's eyes. You describe this terror beautifully, and I love this work...~Mikey

  • A former member wrote: From what I see of this poem, you brutally murdered the child and the memory, or even ghost, of it is haunting you to this day. Don't you hate when that happens? Excellent write and wonderful imagery! =-MO-=

    This piece made me wonder the story behind it, but I created my own story to fit the words. Nice visuals.

    just read all your works. I like this one the best. The imagery is what caught me. Your works are good, just need a lil spell checkin'. Welcome.

  • A former member wrote: I like the use of eclipse, as well. Especially in context with the rest of the stanza... Almost sounds like the protagonist is having a momentary lapse in happiness, but it feels like an eternity.

    Dead eyes that taunt beg and plead...hmmm... The great thing about eclipses is they are momentary.. I like the direction you took on this in as far as where the charactor is.and , to me, the use of eclipse still shows hope as it is not permanent~Silver

    i never thought of that, eclispses or momentary, well, i guess it still works with the poem, thank you for pointing that out.
