          My eyes are not my windows;
          where leaning my gazes be,
          they're no lenses to the outer
          where the living never sees;
          for they've layers--blue
          the image I forsee,
          concluding to presumptions
          of fair-percieving deeds;

          presumptuous of kind,
          assumptions to say,
          I've acknowledged only
          delusions to stay;
          no candles at glow
          for visions explained
          when false hope, false guess,
          intentions--unnamed;

          quite certain of my eyes
          have unclosed bearing shame;
          what window do I have
          or doors I could sway;
          what free eyes shall I be
          to misjudge no more pain,
          maybe just to unsee,
          maybe only I forgave;

          all those difference I've seen
          like the difference I regret,
          in this harmony of words
          I dare be blind instead;
          for my mind opened pages
          of daydreaming's infinity,
          as I unlearned and returned
          sole my truth to poetry.
