The Watcher...
I sat, engaged in guessing of each greedy hand
With wholesome hunger nearly fed
The magic of living tangled in my bed
Tangled inside my head
How I need you to look inside
And see what's on my mind
Out of the night that covers me
Like these sheets that stuff my skin
So ever in my bed, and held within,
I can feel you there
A grandiose daughter
The Watcher
Against the pilgrim born
To be the ever-seeker, where the ethereal
Dares to play my death a dirge
In this room
Where
The Watcher
Cries freedom from deep inside,
The future a final curtain
From life's solemn coolness
Like shadows falling down
On you, holding my hand
So ever in my bed,
I can feel you there,
The Watcher,
Inside my head...
Tony Taylor

Deeply moving intense piece which shows you are in anย emotive state eager to express inner feelings regarding existence and its inevitable conclusion. This poem asks the reader to come to terms with their life and its fragile nature. This haunts and intrigues in equal measure.

This "watcher" is your guardian angel. ย This watcher enters the core of your soul, and there remains, to ward off all negativity. ย This watcher is also there to protect you from yourself, and alter all adversity to happiness and joy. ย This watcher, inside your head and soul for the rest of your days.
Peace, Love and Rockets,
