"A Watchful Eye"

Something a little...darker.

Quiet.

 

Quietly as a breath

it comes.

 

Spiraling, descending,

spreading through these

clean airwaves,

until it isn't quite so clean

anymore.

 

Quietly as the wind produced

from the blink of eyelashes

it comes, down, down, down

'till it rests on everything.

 

It comes like the phantom

trail a snake's skin makes,

and although the eyes do not

perceive it, the mind can feel

it and I do mean feel it, before

it comes. 

 

Quietly it comes.

A secret, a whisper in darkness,

a kiss in the shade from a blade

no one's watching.

 

It's the plotting, and the plans

the conspiracy and the paranoia,

it's the truth in the destruction

that's coming...

 

quietly...

 

It'll make a tomb of this all.
