Eyes Closed...Sober Thoughts

Eyes...
Are closed now...
silent like closed mouths

On black & White T.V. screens
For these eyes... man.. they have
seen some things...
That I wish I could  ...Obliterate
as past images of some things eviscerate

My peaceful place....
Got red- hot tears trailing
down my face...
Lucky for me... these tears
are cathartic...cleansing my soul...

Even though the blood pumping
through my heart is Arctic...
I let the cold winds blow
As it cools the Fire in my mind...
I know....yes I know...

What these eyes of mine have seen...
peeling back the layers of me...
Piece by piece...
These memories that have created
this beast...within....my skin...
Forcing me to become a shape shifter
Kind of an  energy lifter...cant let the world see
What my memories...have made out of me
Shaping around the gaping holes left in
My soul ...
I close my eyes...
and let the cold winds blow.
Realizing... that I ...am all I've got.
I welcome the day...and these
Sober Thoughts.
