Eyes

I finally believe the eyes are the windows to the soul

Your eyes are the purest form of art

I basically invented a conversation with them that will never be

I read every deep message it communicated

As your lashes fluttered, I knew I could be lost in your gaze forever

I was almost hynoptized as your irises had this warmness around it

The last time I looked deeply into someone’s eyes this much was when I felt anger and pain from mistrust

Your gaze is dissecting every bit of humanity in me

I shouldn’t be the one to feel this way

Am I tearing?

I can’t look anymore

I don’t know if my eyes can also communicate that I understand

I see you

I’m staring at grief

Those eyes looked  happy a brief moment ago

The long, thick and dark lashes was some sort of shield

I think the tears would help so I can see with a crystal clear view

When I closed my eyes to sleep, I knew that I had to be everything I could be to bring back trust and happiness to those beautiful brown eyes.

    Really heavy stuff…Sometimes I wonder if people can easily read us the way we do them.

      Sometimes when we meet certain people, we bare it all without saying anything and others they’ll never know.

    Hopefully we all get to meet people we don’t need to deploy our ‘long, thick and dark shields’ on.
    Keep them coming Anie, I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

      Thanks love. They might just be empty and nothing because their soul is filled with bitterness.
