Paint The Life In Your Eyes

Nothing can capture it.

I wish to paint a picture of him, paint

the life in his eyes. The mischief in them,

the misery it contains. Dark black

behind those glasses, I see wisdom regardless of his youth.

His eyes smile as he grins. But there's also pain.

Much pain. I cannot erase it, but

I hope to paint it. How to combine

happiness and sorrow in a stroke of

colored oil and bristles of a paintbrush?

How to blend the right tones

and transfer his life onto the canvas?

I swim in his dark black pools as I stare

into the wisdom in those eyes.
