Written Eyes

Written Eyes

Read me in your head

Because I can’t be read aloud

The secrets inside me

Keeping me safe

Secure

In one piece

My emotions

My secrets

My thoughts

My desires

The words are swirling in my eyes

Around my pupils

Constantly moving

Changing

Disappearing

Keeping them keeps me safe

Keeps me alive

Keeps me breathing

But I’m the only one who knows

Who knows I’m alive

I’m living

What’s in my head

Is in mine

And only mine

But I’ll let you in

Maybe only for a moment

But read it inside yours

Your head

Share mine with yours

Because it can’t be spoken aloud

I need to stay in one piece

Chipped at the sides

Slowly cracking

But in one

Single

Piece

Because my eyes tell my head

Tell my mind

Tell my emotions

Tell my story

Tell me

Everything about me

Just

Me

I enjoyed this, it reminded me of looking into someone elses eyes and trying to figure them out, all their little nuances and stories; their histories. You did a wonderful job of portraying that :)

People dont look into each others often enough, only when they want the truth or want something, if we took the time, we could read a lot

This is a really thought provoking poem...not in the usual metaphorical sense, but in the philosophical aspects of it- which I love! It's also incredibly different to most of the poems I've come across these days, and it's very dramatic and deep. The concepts vary, from my interpretations, which is amazing because it helps each reader understand it in their own creative way, which is difficult for a writer to achieve, so well done! It's a really nice piece, and I enjoyed reading it!

[Destinyxi]

what a nice comment, thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for reviewing of course!

[G.A. Collins]

That's okay, it was a pleasure to read! :)

This is the third poem I've read of yours today. It seems the not writing as much has produced a potent distillate or maybe a ripening of purpose. I am glad that it has occurred. Now there are no distracting ambiguities, instead any ambiguity adds meaning, any statement rings true, any image is without smudge.

[Destinyxi]

haha I didn't notice that, thank you!

[Malcolm J. Watt]

Haha, writing is just lotsu fun.

[John Stussy]

I rather like it, your style is still very dynamic. Always best to be a bit careful with sharing what's inside you, but being seen and acknowledged for who you are in silence is rather invigorating and calming all at once. Very well penned poem Destiny.

[Destinyxi]

Thank you so much Johnny boy :)

[John Stussy]

No problem, it was a pleasure reading your work.

[gombeggar]

nice wording and structure...but also interesting conceptualizing

[Destinyxi]

Thank you very much :D

[kublakhan27]

I can still hear your voice my dear...I could read a million books and still be able to point out what ones you wrote :) The second and third lines were awesome...every writer looks at words a different way, and I like your spin on it very much :)

[Destinyxi]

Thank you hun, I appreciate it. I had to go back to re read the second and third line because I forgot what they were lol. Thanks for reading and reviewing :)

[kublakhan27]

Always a pleasure Kels :)

Love the format and every stanza you've written. It was long enough to be a 2 or 3 part poem though. But it was supposed to be one piece. Great write. Keep up the great work. :)

[Destinyxi]

Thank you!

[The Everfree Poet]

Wow. I really like this. Nice job!

[Destinyxi]

Thanks so much :)
