Burn, Your Eyes Poem by Josh Terpening

Burn, Your Eyes



Burn your eyes with frozen smiles
Bring the lost souls to bed;
When the steps sink make your while
Into the desert's red.



There lives a world of experiences
Between sunlight and shadow

I witnessed the prey
Transformed into the predator.

Ten thousand kisses inside visionary eyes.

My mind exploded and
Life was vaporized.

The universe imploded
And everything disappeared.




Sitting on a sidewalk in a prickly city with the dimmest of eyes, I became immune to the chaos. I began to fade away, to dissipate into a drowsy but sleepless dream. I envisioned a beautiful marriage of an ocean and a beach by the sun radiating bright yellow unto the surfaces of both land and sea. The tiny, piercing, white sparkles on the water sincerely loved each granule of sand that glittered like a star. My eyes then stepped back into my mind revealing a new kind of cosmos.



O, BLINDED RESPLENDENCE (MY FUTURE)
BEQUEATH YOUR SHAMEFUL WOES,
FOR THIS YEAR'S GLOOM DID HIBERNATE
BEFORE THE BLOOM
AND WRESTED ABYSMAL FLOWS
OF HOPE AND ITS RESEMBLANCE!
