The narrowing of effective visible capacity as one speeds,
moving swiftly, traversing distances while seeing less. Provoking an act of
accident this so-called tunnel vision is pretty and damn dangerous, lowering our
thinking capacities and our reaction times, giving no time to change the direction
of the steering wheel or to turn around. What is so captivating about this
phenomenon that some even get the adrenaline rush out of it? Maybe it is the
speeds associated with it but still in the grasp of the tunnel vision we fall. And
can this risky matter be a subject of pure joy in which we find absolute pleasure?
Sitting opposite to you and just gazing into your eyes, your
small brown eyes. Eyes that not only reflect but hypnotize too. While the world
around us carries on with its mundane tasks, while the hands of the clocks keep
turning around and while the coffee keeps getting cold, I keep getting lost,
not losing my visibility exactly but forsaking my sense of time. Just for the
sake of observation one can only look into one eyeball at a time perfectly, focusing
on one tunnel at a time. A tunnel where you shall have no inhibitions, no Orwellian
dystopic thoughts about this world, all that you will have is pure joy. Imagine
yourself moving through time and at greater speeds where everything is blurry, but
nothing seems to matter and this movement is eternal bliss. An ethereal kind of
aura surrounds you and it captivates so much so that you cannot speak through your
mouth but only unconsciousness talks. This is what they call love. Being dangerous,
risky and adventurous this is the love that you will find in your dearly
beloved’s eyes. In love you shall find happiness and sadness, it will be everything
a tunnel is. Light at the end while dark all the way and often repeating
itself. Dusk to dawn this tunnel will guide you home because amongst this
darkness and light lies all the pleasures of life.
In your eye I stare,
Slow movement through time, my dear,
Reflected, myself I see,
In this tunnel vision, so carefree.
