Eyes that follow you,
Gathering your moves unto,
Reflects in blue pools
Warm luminance that won’t cool,
They are there you know
Watching as you come and go,
Peering through the gloom
From the shadows of the room,
Floating in silence
With steady glare of patience,
Do the eyes know you?
Do you recognize the blue?
The still will follow
They compel you now to go
And not linger in shadow.

Great theme - this is a good poem;
those eyes following you around the room!

Mine (ghosts/spirits) bump my chair and bed, too. No, they don't scare me. I simply won't entertain them - too busy with the living... :)
  
I might be misinterpeting, but, the line :"warm luminence that won't cool"
doesn't seem to fit, blue being a cool color....

And, when ghosts/spirits arrive there is a rush of cold air...no warmth...

This is a good topic and think we've all had a similar experience. Often, in a picture on the wall.

Thanks,
Pat :)

In My Heart

Held are those moments, unseen as the whole
of the bits, the temptation, when alone, feeling cold.
Where my hurts are the judgements, inspirations' unfold.
As your eyes let me go, into shadows I stroll.

not really in a poetic mood to finish...a response

Thank you, regards2you
Pleased that you enjoyed the poem,
The line “Warm luminance that won’t cool,”
Is to show the desire or emotion of the watcher,
It just so happens the eye color is blue, a cool color.
Besides the fact that my eyes are blue, it fits the rhyme.

Thank you, nakdthoughts
For the wonderful poetic response,
“As your eyes let me go, into shadows I stroll.”
But the eyes don’t let you go
They follow
They follow
