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

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

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.

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
