somebody's dungeon

The worlds I've seen in mind's eye,
beauty that touches with picture.
Stop, upon thought, pleasant
or not. Still I see when I look
within the glory of sight past,
present, future yet realized.
I reach deep in past lives,  
observant ever, watching always
and have seen the mountains majestic
across the ocean wide, pyramids
reflected in gold, of Tut,
of pharaoh. I've seen the wild
beast of jungles deep and far
away, that which stalks the night
that which hunts by day. Man at best,
man at worst, women taint, and pure.
In minds eye, introspected thought?
Scenes I've not laid eyes upon
I see, I know, I feel.
I've no explanation for  
this gift of sighted mind.
