Behind the Eyes


tired eyes close softly
thumb and fore finger
gently rub the bottom
against the cheek bone,
eyes close tighter
three finger push in
ever so tenderly...
a dark pattern emerges
separated by strand of
a golden color that
changes a dark purple
with red and white
lines jutting across in
irregular motion and
as the eyes try to focus
on the designs they
disappear and black
immediately fills the
void...  fingers pull
back and try again,
the colors reappear
but this time they 
are shades of blues
and green with silver
lines juxtaposed all
around like a spider
web that is trying to
reconstruct itself...
the artist inside my
mind wants to capture
these images on 
canvas as they are
different than anything 
seen and would surely
draw one's attention.
