Description

The Argus Panoptes Speaks their first words after eons have passed in silence. This is the first story told from the stage of the Private Poet Salon... Eye was keeping watch At the behest of the queen I could not resist Felt my spleen squiver That Eye shall never leave Until I die. Eye owe her a debt Eye can never repay Eye will never sleep Eye will never rest Is this what Eye was meant to be A watchman for power and jealousy A slave to the whims of gods… Eye spoke with Hermes A fellow shepherd king They were kind and understanding A friend of Eros and the Erotis Who would never prevent their wills Nor allow the lowly To suffer from the foolishness Of the folly diseased. Hermes sat among the irises Told tales of worlds afar Their voice honey sweet Tonal strings of violas waving Their eyes lustrous Reflecting galactic song. They told me all the wrongs That were meant for me alone Not in words or signs from hands But through visions And a game of casting stones From runes of bones and shell. Eye slept and in my dreams I wept Eye do not want to go to hell For paying eternal debts Eye do not want to be awake Or live life through observation And pass away, not yet. So Eye slept. Eye then let the dreams of normal life Be a stream on which I was swept Saw a different world in slumber So much to be seen So many worlds without number That even Eye cannot believe. All with my waking vision. This is revision I still dream Here And live life unseen. ------ ------License: With the purchase of this NFT, the artist TheDigitalCoy provides the primary holder the licensing rights to sell, trade, or transfer the NFT on the blockchain, and can be used to display privately, or in commercial and non-commercial settings, or in groups with an unlimited number of members.
