Green Eyes

Green eyes
    staring.
  Intensely and carefully drawing me
in the night,
  you are all I see.

Green eyes
    glaring.
  Pushing me down without moving
in the night,
  you are all I feel.

Green eyes
    blaring.
  Telling me things I don't want to know.
In the night,
  you are all I hear.

Green eyes
    flaring.
  Watching my stps to see where I go.
In the night,
  you are all I fear.

Sometimes you just dream about wierd things. Well I was dreaming of green eyes. I pictured in my mind two green eyes, like those of a cat, staring at me in a dark room. As in all dreams, the unknown started to bring about uncertainty, and with uncertainty came fear. What were the eyes, what was I afraid of? The green eyes may just have been the eyes of a kitten looking up at me for all I know. But sometimes, the smallest uncertainties can bend us all out of shape. We're so often afraid of the harmless. Someday maybe I'll figure out what my green eyes belong to.
