Blank Eyes

So bright and so shining; Once were those eyes Seemed within Sun rising And heaven ever resting Now blank they stare Starless they glow and glimmer Kindle with demoniac glare His trousers were baggy Hands not clean Face with unshaved chin With unkempt looks, he appears Seen everyday wandering Down the street onto the corner Cold and dejected, passing Through many a place near and dear Though to him blank and bare.. Into emptiness and nothingness Pulling his body and soul together Joy, sorrow, staleness and liveliness All seem same, no discrimination ever Rain and storm beat him Sun and Moon light him No sense of feeling either Only emptiness and blankness Could be seen writ large in his eyes And God knows where his soul lies Perchance this is madness Slowly and steadily swallowing him And through his eye corners I could see sun blazes embers Even if you are insane You are human, my dear Says the sun humbly in his ear…………
