Is It Me? |

Beautifully sad, haunting, mesmerizing eyes that would bring time to stand as still as a grey weathered tombstone on a frigid winter day. Eyes that reflected centuries of trial and fearful moans, times of shed blood that flowed freely toward southern seas as the chill of a laughter’s sigh clutched at the heart of man. Eyes that taunted, undressed and stroked the shivering skin of man. Eyes that riveted feet to a wooden floor, stifling the squeak of weathered boards and scribed the dew laden mirror that squirmed in reflect. Eyes that wrenched the soul from one’s dying frame, as lips struggled to utter a woeful cry...and trembling hands reached out and weakly grasped a dark cloak, wanting only to know..... Is it me? |
