Poetry: Broken dreams


Two eyes, one of blue,

See backward like Janus

Except I got a better deal.

Past reflections are seen

Across the orb, milky undertones

Surfacing like an oil slick

That smells of rose petals.

Two eyes, one of blue,

Are used to pour through ancient tomes

That tells of Mankind's history

From hard earned intellect

To widely practiced hedonism. I count myself

Among the less fortunate, those who

See while using their own will.

My frequently worn glasses

Humble me.

Two eyes, one of nothing.
