Private Eyes

Day was dreary, even more so
Than the nights before, as once more, snow

Flakes of information,  cooled the heat
Of a mind bewildered, amassed in defeat

Motorized body, prepared for breakdown
Traveled a bit, mapped out the town

Scrutinized words, released without ease
Private thoughts, feeling each "squeeze"

Answers forthcoming, solutions, don't bet
Events unfurling, odds to forget

Delving the deep, insane, the unknown
These eyes see privately, memories sown

Old ones tarnished, boxed, packed away
New ones to lighten each day ahead gray

Unraveling, seeps, pores empty their plight
Dispensing "what ifs", losing the fight

Cramping begins, tightness that screams
Unbending, yearning, relief, even seems

A day away ever, not to be within reach
Floundering presents, boxed words filled with "preach"

Too many, too often, unyielding, each one
Eyes once so private, closed now to none.
