Those Eyes

the power behind the eyes

 

Those Eyes

They say the eyes,

are the window to the soul,

when I look into those eyes,

I struggle keeping control

 

they say that man can never know 

from whence he came,

my words to explain it all,  

seem so very very lame

I knew you from the future,

or was it from the past,

we connected through electrons,

the stardust forever cast,

 

having never hardly seen your face,

it was impossible to guess,

into the light years of primordial stew,

I emerged to confess

now your face is very clear,

the eyes so very bright,

those eyes show to me,

the treasures of insight

 

I look into the image,

and see the sunflowers smile, 

            they teach patience and kindness                   Innocence of child

I wish that I had known,

when everything was new,

had seen those visions early,

that I now see when with you

 

you have taught me so much,

how to deal with me,

when I cannot accept the truth,

winds blow me out to sea

you find the way to bring me back,

rescue my angry soul,

those eyes can see everything,

for that they take a toll

 

you are my very anchor now,

saved me from my lies,

I feel the universe all new again,

when I look into those eyes

A rather lovely, tender expression of feeling and tribute to someone very special. There is a sensual, ethereal kind of depth to the language and feel of the poem which resounds with sincerity and preciousness.
The last stanza in particular is the epitome of this feeling.

Aw! That was beautiful, man! I can't even put into words how lovely this is - 'good imagery' seems like an understatement. A thousand points to Gomer LePoet. :)

What romantic thoughts you have there Gomer. The eyes do tell so much, the are the door to ones soul..this is such a soft and romantic..kind of content read...I can say I honestly like this piece...
BTW...Sunflowers have nice smiles...hehe

eyes say it all

looking away (not wanting to connect)

looking straight on - (taking a looksy inside you and allowing another to capture)

eyes and smiles...they drive our imagination wild.

The more I read your pieces the closer I feel to you, in a friend way of course. I must say this poem is amazing and your wording is great. This is an amazing poem.

Apes, fish and amphibians all have eyes, and these eyes are homologies because they evolved as eyes in a common ancestor thus- you see yourself through her eyes. In the paradigm case of sight, thin films of atoms (‘images’) constantly flood off bodies, and our eyes mechanically register those which reach them neither embroidering nor interpreting. These primary visual data (like photographs, which ‘cannot lie’) and also images of ourselves seen by others have unassailable evidential value. I liked the rhythm of your poem. It was wonderfully painted, also I liked your metaphysical references.

Wow! Beautiful. "I feel the universe all new again". I love those moments when we seem to wake up and see everything again with new eyes.

This is beautiful reading. The eyes are the windows to the soul ,, so much seen in a person's eyes. This reads easily and the content is so lovely, I like these lines very much...
