Eyelid

The door to darkness

Close your eyes a while
The wind of darkness ties
Feels floating through strangeness
Feeling the world like a mirage.

Forms and colors are dreams
Wishes to lit a lantern
Where wolves hide along the path
Howling to terrify the soul.

Colors are empty dreams
The sky and the earth are wonders
Touching the body, feels the existence
The mirrors are sounds and smell.

Eyes are lantern in darkness
Where eyelids doors of emptiness
Far away sun and moon
Wishing splendorous feast to the world.

Closed eyes transfer you into a world without shape or colour. Imagine not being able to gaze at the night sky. No stars, no moon. And not being able to see the sun playing on a canopy of green leaves. This is where you transported me Arundass.

this is travelling far away and far into the minds and eyes, looking for light. I liked the 2nd stanza a lot. The images in the write are striking and stroke imagination. Thanks for sharing, dear TP.

I love the lines "Colors are empty dreams" and "Eyes are lantern in darkness"! The poem makes me think of how momentous closing your eyes can be, even if it's just for a little while.

Thanks for allowing us to travel the realms of the mind! This poem beautifully captures the interplay between light and darkness, dreams and reality, fear and wonder. It evokes a sense of introspection and exploration, inviting the reader to ponder the mysteries of perception and existence.

The world just isn't the same with your eyes closed.....it is like a mirage, colorless, only hearing strange sounds...however open your eyes and it is a different world; one can see the universe, the sun, moon and all the colors possible... "A feast to the world"....
Lovely, TP
Warmly, B

Do we really or are we really able to believe what our eyes see?
It is all gone in a blink....and what about the heart....does it believe what it feels,
even for that instant?
