Hello everyone, “Eyes of Madness” was also published in Event’s Quarterly in 2004 in a different version than the one posted here. Let me know what you think  [/i][/color]
EYES OF MADNESS
Heavy enclosing
darkness,
surrounds me
in this cramped
lifeless room.
Windows, locked,
shuttered
and shaded.
Curtains, drawn
and thick.
For me,
I foresee
no way to crawl
from beneath
life’s suffocating
smother.
Isolated
by inner fear,
I reach
for the hand
of another which
which is not there.
I am
entombed
in the still
of this
vacuous
room.
My distraught
eyes shed
a lone tear
as I stare,
vacantly
into somber
eyes of madness.

I do remember when it was published...I believe I like this version better, good job  love these two sections: "Isolated
by inner fear,
I reach
for the hand
of another which
which is not there.
I am
entombed
in the still
of this
vacuous
room."I have to finish up a report before going to work, so you all have a great Tuesday  |
