Eyes of the beholder

When you look at me

I wonder what you see

with those staring eyes

 

Do you see questions

or do you find answers

in my expressions

 

Do you see experience

or age in each wrinkle

and blemish

 

Do you smile because

you like what you see

or find it funny

 

Do you see a love

only for you

or the rocky past

 

Do you find what you are looking for

or are you looking for

what you are hoping to find

 

Do you see understanding

or someone you

don't understand

 

Do you see a face that lights up

when you are near

or dim features fading

 

When you look at me

I wonder what you see

because when I look at you

I just can't see what you see in me

Bugs bugs java updooring scam -- please CAFE close the updoor. Great write if I could review it without back clicking 25 times. ARRGH.

Bugs seem to be a part of this site - someone call an exterminator for KLGoode and the rest of us. Thank you for putting up with the infestation to review my poem.

Deep in thought and introspection, maybe the other "sees" all of those things. But then maybe the other just sees you, and perhaps that's enough. Odd that sometimes the simplest answer is hard to accept. Beautiful sentiments here, nicely written. Penny
