The Clicking Eye (Third Rewrite)

So with loads of coaching and encouragement from the editorial team at eFantasy Steampunk this is the final version of "The Clicking Eye" that's being used for the magazine. I want to give a big and warm thank you to the team at eFiction and their Steampunk division. I wish you guys the best of luck with this new adventure in the Steampunk genre. If you are not aware of eFiction you can find them on their website http://www.efictionmag.com

I have included a section here of my poem "The Clicking Eye".

"The Clicking Eye"

I met him by the shores of Crete
     where we sailed East to Lebanon
     by caravan we travelled North
     and spent a night in Chalcedon
He'd been a scholar in this town
     before the Thracian wars began
     he lost his eye in Istanbul
     and since remained a bitter man

An amber stone with cogs and wheels
     now haunted this old vagrant's stare
     it saw through shadows, flesh and bone
     and shone a light of ember glare
...
