AN EYE FOR AN EYE

In the swirling shadows of doubt so suffocating in their bleakness
there are dark infusions of muffled screams into our confessional membrane
creating murmurs that creep through each cerebral crevice and cranny
stirring those murky ravines of graying uncertainty
where paradox phantoms are like a shark's fin slicing the water,
only hinting at what is real.

It creates chaos in the supposed bottomless caverns of panic
driving our ravenous and myopic orbs to a frenzy of anxiety
till we cry out for peace from the blackness swallowing our reason
which can finally cool the fret inferno's plumes of vein spiders.

Exhaling, our gasp of reluctant surrender
lets an unseen voice caress the sinews of our subdued understanding.

It is a sound never before heard during the clamor of ignorance
creating vibrations of intuitive sensory tremors
allowing us to see with such intense clarity
what was once so unclear in our personal blindness
shrouding truth's catacomb from our former gaze.

New orbs, more vivid and lucid, are born inside our mind
bringing meaning and thought so indelibly profound
through a vision radiant by its trace etchings upon our mental mural
carved in its effect upon our senses instead of merely seen
being the transitory opulence so bedazzling
when we at last unveil a cavernous treasure thought forbidden
and exchange
an eye for an eye.
