Green Eyes Are Always Watching


He stands, inadequately armored
sword held in quavering hand.

Once again, this knight must
face the beast, his greatest fear.

Mustering his courage,
he yanks open the door.

He freezes as the green eyes
of the beast turn his way.

Stepping forward into the darkness,
he swallows his fear and advances.

The beast's eyes never waver.
The knight pauses, uncertain.

Words said to another have
brought the beast to life again.

Doubt has rusted armor,
his past makes the knight weak.

It's a battle that must be fought.
A damsel's in need of rescue.

Fears must be faced again,
the beast can not be allowed to win.

Once again the green-eyed monster
has raised it's ugly head.

Will our hero have the courage
to defeat the beast, and his fears?

It's a never ending struggle.
The prize: a damsel fair.

With his sword inscribed, "I love you",
the knight wades in to do battle
with himself.
