Mysterious Eyes

Your eyes

are a mystery to me

what depth is hidden

behind them

I have only grasped

in a few moments

of clarity

where I have seen

a lovely, thoughtful

soul

although mired

with distress it appeared

to me.

 

You long to be free

and express yourself

without regret

though you and I both

have held back

simply because

our days are filled

with needs that eat

up most moments

that might be reserved

for more meaningful

expressions of Self.

 

I know you in a way

however that I have known

no other, I have wandered

about your very being

learning every inch

of what you are,

I have glimpsed what

you may become

through your talented expressions.

 

Yet, we still live

apart in ways

that make me long

to be closer still

to you within-

that which truly matters

the essence of you

your Universal Love

is what I seek.

 

Perhaps, the longing

I express is too much

yet I feel you may also

long to feel what I feel,

know what I know,

think as I do

if only for a moment

so that my mysterious

eyes, like yours

will become clear,

insightful, knowing

and as One.

wow, seeing mystery in lovers eyes, this is sensuously crafted, written
to height Siddartha. it reflects painting the way each word is a brush stroke
adding to the overall image. A beautifully desirous canvas of romantic
intuition and understanding the deepest meaning of a love. brilliantly done

[Fabian G. Franklin]

There lies the meaning of life. You must give your life meaning by giving of yourself to others. Time is life for we are each allotted only a certain number of hours and days. We should spend that time wisely on our journey through the years, holding close the ones we love, cherishing every heartbeat as if it were our last. There are mysteries between two souls and lonely corners we cannot reach. But perhaps there are some boundaries and walls that should not be breached. They say, "familiarity breeds contempt" so maybe there are relationships built upon that precept as well. If you care enough to pay close attention to the smallest of details a window opens into the soul where we catch glimpses of true character. Wonderful work as always my friend. Blessings.

You can tell a lot looking into someone's eyes... what can i say again your poetry is full of charm and grace that stand out...

this verse is particularly big for me... cause you really can get to know someone through their work, that is why it is easy to fall for an artist.
A very beautiful write again.
