WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES I SEE BEST

by

K.D. Payne




When I close my eyes I see best.
White becomes red, grey becomes blue
And closed becomes open.

I see best when I close my eyes.
I feel them roll back
To look into my mind,
I feel the tingle of the Third Eye.

I feel best when I feel nothing.
Nothing is safe.
Light makes me ill at my stomach.
I feel best in darkness.

I taste nothing
But the coppery sting
Of my own blood.
I bite my own tongue,
I consume myself.

I see best when I close my eyes.
I feel His dreams calling me,
I see Him and go to him
And awaken choking
On a chest full of the sea.
