Damn My Eyes
Spilling myself with an ink-soaked feather
pages cocooned by mahogany leather,
eroded and weathered
“Damn my eyes”
“My deeds unjustified”
Perusing prose to anesthetize my pain
my windowpane dripping with drops of autumn rain
feigning contentment for a fleeting moment in vain
“Gouge my eyes”
“My deeds are my demise”
Each member of mine, like fault lines
divinely defined as one of his signs
grinding against one another for the first time
“Blind my eyes”
“My crimes dim my light”
As i claw my way out of this carnal cavity,
depravity and dread fill me happily
aptly humming to the melody of my impending calamity
“Leave my eyes”
“I am no longer in disguise”
