Two Entities in One
Through my Eyes I see myself
Watching others move about.
Not a word uttered from my mouth
Watching the world like watching TV.
Sometimes switching off the sound,
Sometimes turning up the sound;
Sometimes weary of looking up,
Sometimes weary of looking down.
Eyeballs shift within my sockets
Probing deeper into human beings
Pushing, piercing, tearing, scraping
Into the essence of your being.
Those eyeballs dark, those eyeballs sharp
Looking, looking, starring, starring.
Lids unblinking, eyelids lidless
Tapping into the mind of others.
Freezing faces, turning faces
Studying, learning through the ages
Shaping myself into perfection
Shaping myself into nothingness.
Through the windows of my soul
I watch people moving through their lives
Full of laughter, full of love
Secure within their environment.
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad,
Sometimes yearning, sometimes rejecting,
Sometimes loving, sometimes despising,
Sometimes never knowing what to expect.
I glance at everything before me
Praying, wishing, dreaming, hoping
Enhancing yet clouding the vision before me
Healing everything I see.
The windows bright, the windows soft
Dreaming, dreaming, watching, watching
Lids unblinking, eyelids lidless
Fading into my own prison
Changing faces, refining faces
Shaping, creating through the ages
Shaping myself into loveliness
Shaping myself into nothingness.
