These Eyes

Eyes see so much both good and bad. Some things we see we want to remember some things we wish we could forget. This is dedicated to my saviour who looks into my eyes with such passion and love. My saviour, you never look away, thank you for that Xx

 

These eyes

 

 

These are the same eyes that I had a child

The same ones I was born with

Hazel green looks out at the world

Greying lashes now blink away the tears

 

So much these eyes have seen

So much pain, so much joy

So much hate, so much war

So much love so much tenderness

 

A million images they have seen

Some I will treasure forever

Some I wish I could forget

Some I still want to see

 

These eyes have cried for joy

These eyes have cried for love

These eyes have cried for tenderness

These eyes have cried for comfort

 

These eyes have seen births

These eyes have seen gentle passing

These eyes have seen coffins

These eyes have seen dead friends

 

How can eyes stay the same?

After they have seen so much?

After a lover has gently kissed them?

After a Saviour has dried the tears?

 

These eyes have seen a new day dawning

These eyes have seen the sky on fire

These eyes have seen planets falling

These eyes have seen new worlds being born

 

These eyes have fallen in love

These eyes have broken hearts

These eyes have melted hearts

These eyes have mended broken hearts

 

Who do you see when you look in my eyes?

Who is it looking back at you?

Who makes the connection with your eyes?

Who does not look away?

 

Do you see a lover?

Do you see a friend?

Do you see an enemy?

Do you see another man?

 

These eyes open into my soul

These eyes tell you more than words

These eyes sing for you

These eyes long for you.

Boneman, I'm sure I have read this one before?! That or I'm having a de ja view (sp?). I don't know where you get your ideas from, I'd of never thought of using the eyes to define so many things in my life but they do, they nurture our emotions, memories and experiences. You make an interesting argument for being able to see someone's soul through their eyes, I personally love the idea. What a great piece of writing!

I liked this quite a bit. I love the subject of eyes, and you covered a lot of ground with your work.
My favorite stanza was:
These eyes open into my soul
These eyes tell you more than words
These eyes sing for you
These eyes long for you.
When the eyes are open to the soul, they are powerful.
And by the way, hazel eyes are cool, like mood eyes. I have them as well.
Good job.

Hi Boneman: Another great poem. My favorite stanza was:

Do you see a lover?
Do you see a friend?
Do you see an enemy?
Do you see another man?

Because it made me stop and think. I believe it was a good topic for a poem. Hazel green eyes? I never knew. Wonderful Job!
