Omnipresent Fixation

He guards the perimeter of
my newly built life,
An unappointed warden to 
his long- departed wife.
His surveillance is a shadow,
heavy and profound,
As his relentless, predatory
footsteps trace my ground.
He orchestrates a calculated,
unconcerned chase,
Inserting his fixation into
every public space.
My mailbox is violated,
stripped of its defense,
By his intrusive fingers and 
his desperate, dark suspense.
He intercepts my letters with 
a convert, hungry gaze,
To map the secret geography 
of my escaping days.
Invisible tripwires hum with
electronic sight, 
As hidden lenses pierce the
sanctuary of my night. 
Those cold, robotic apertures
are blinking from the trees,
Recording every movement 
on his digital decrees.
He is a phantom archivist,
compiling what I do,
An omnipresent voyeur of a
life he can't renew.
This suffocating vigilance,
this voyeuristic thrall,
Has turned my independence 
to an exhibition hall.
He hovers like a specter in 
an inescapable grid,
Unraveling the safety where 
my fragile freedom hid. 
A microscopic tyranny that 
never lets me be.
