empty eyes dull damaged mirrors poor reflections eyes shout silent prayers muted when shut eyes wide open pennies cover the windows copper green are the eyes white eyes tell you to ease the pain slumbering with one eye open eyes wide shut shot between the eyes blackness point blank right between the eyes love is blind even with open eyes

Continuing the challenge to keep writing poems of 144 characters or less. Here are three more #micropoems. Poetry for twitter 🙂
1. feed me don’t tease me said the lover gorge yourself on love life & lust said the beloved 2. love is beauty wrapped in the seconds of one’s life if you don’t stop to breath you might just miss it 3. what is worse than death dying leaving nothing unfinished the elusive, yet attainable unfinished life

a wind is sweeping the land no wait, across our planet the wind blows through the halls of power no country is sacrosanct mediocrity our new political watchword on a good day! on every other day we would be considered blessed to have mediocre leaders the wind of the bigot the ignorant the illiterate autocrat blows with vigour no stone left unturned all that stand in the way bashed, broken, ripped apart theocracy takes flight the hot air of idiocy blows with venom from the open gaping vacuous mouths of our elected leaders even when they are eloquently hoisted on their own petard their praise singers and chorus lines run to the fore like court jesters of old the halls are silent laughter is absent intentions are real, deceitful wrestling power and control from the blind electorate who have realised to late the error of their ballot cross has now become a cross they cannot bear
