Watching Poem by Valerie Dohren
Watching
Watching in the mellowed light
Through the darkness, through the night
Eyes that pierce and eyes that burn
Eyes that twist and eyes that turn
Watching every move you make
Every single breath you take
Are they there to steal your soul
Glistening, and black as coal
Do they claw into your heart
Ripping every thought apart
Haunting yet your quiet mind
Do you heed them, are you blind
Can you see them, do you hide
Shall you mock them, shall you chide
Are your own eyes ….. open wide
I had to read this a couple of times before I twigged on it was about CCTV cameras! Another cracking poem Val.
A great joy to read, loved this poem! I first thought was the conscience flash light but after reading the comments I realized that it fit better to the challenging technology that we are facing, growing and streghtening its chains around us day by day. Thank you!
Ir starts like a romantic poem but surprisingly moves into some sensational feelings about the 'eye' black like coal' stealing our souls. well-written
Love reading it again and again, imagination....Lurking shadows
As I read the poem, I was forming my own interpretation, which virtually collapsed when I read the notes. I tend to agree with thee uneasy magnetic feelings of Theodora and Hari and experienced something like that myself. Still the images linger in my mind. Very interesting poem
The devil within lurking and watching has been excellently brought out! Lovely, Valerie!
The devil within has a strong presence, he works even one's eyes are opened wide...the beats are perfect...your poems are the best stuff for loud recital! ! !
