Unblinking Third Eye

Deep into the forest I tread, 
Nothing along but a sense of dread. 
The gloomy canopy
Of the spectral gigantic trees
Block the clear sky, 
Led solely by 
The unblinking third eye. 

Lost amidst bewilderment, 
Blindfolded by the guileful semblence. 
Darkness misleads the way, 
Wolf hunts in a deer veil. 
There is woven a web of lies, 
But Allurement is yet to overwhelm
The unblinking third eye. 

A path made of thorns, 
There is blood trail all along. 
The smell incites the beasts, 
Lurking around to prey upon. 
Every moment, a wrestle to live or die, 
Yet accompanied by 
The unblinking third eye.
