"Such Eyes..." Poem

Its never just - children
nor teens

Its not about ourselves - never ourselves... our selves

Its always just:

"Once upon a time," ~ words to so softly begin a legend... a moment... an entire life's-time.  My words, her/his - silence...

My existence,
her/his - "Oh, hi - don't I know you from somewhere?  Well maybe not, nevermind..."

My total focus and intent,
her/our - "...and (s)he GAVE me a POEM!!??!!  Can you believe that???  (S)He just came up and gave ME a..." and all the laughter echoed and echoed...

"Such Eyes..."

Such eyes...
mirror so many worlds

within and without

Such eyes...
search and seek
draw and hold

Such eyes...
fill me with wonder
and soft smiles

Such eyes...
can make me cry

and yet still hope...

and yet Such eyes...
don't even know
I exist.

but for once -

just for once...

"Such eyes..."
looked so gently in mine
as she touched my hand...

The eyes are the greatest way to read and to feel anyone else's emotion i say. A window to the mind, the heart and the soul and they can be ever so beautiful and just put a spell on you more times then nothing. Another great piece sir.

[Audrey Howitt]

The eyes tell us so much. What a person feels. They tell us the truth of things when the mouth lies. And when they convey love, it is indeed a wonderful gift.

I've read through some of your poems, and I must say I like your style ole man. Very different than most of the stuff I see on here, and I mean that in a good way.

[Desert Dreamer]

Eyes can hold the universe it seems. I like the format, as if you are telling a story, I become immersed in your words.

[Kat Collins]

The eye, which is the reflector of the external world, is also the mirror of the soul within.

The eyes are likened to the windows of the heart (Mark 7:20-23).

Oh, to be the bearer and/or receiver of such eyes....
