My Eyes

My Eyes is a poem about finding the self by way of knowledge of what it is one can see (based on ones own expectations of what is to be seen by ones own point of view); it questions if consciousness has a self and what, if consciousness is freed from the body, is there for the self to know.


   There are nine stanzas of four lines each. Every other line rhymes (the even numbered lines which have 8 syllables), the odd numbered lines have 11 syllables.


   While the structure of nine stanzas has been maintained as nine chapter breaks, each stanza has had its lines split-apart in order to preserve the intent (the pacing) of each line, and thus each line may be given its own page; there may be instances, however, where managing the evolution of the poem in your mind, some lines have been split into multiple pages, or, multiple lines of a stanza remain on the same page (making it so a chapter is not necessarily equal to the count of lines of a stanza).
