Eyes.

I wonder how, when people look into your eyes

They see everything not very special

They see-  

The normality of the placid browns in your irises

When you don't even realize they're looking

But not the light reflecting a thousand rainbows

When you squint up at the sun

They see- 

Nothing, but that your eyes are closed

When you fall asleep

But don't think about the things you're probably seeing

In the dreams playing behind your eyelids

They see-

The way your eyes seem to spit fire when 

Rage unsettles your mind

But not the long lashes shielding the secrets

You probably hide everyday

Author's Note

I'm not very happy with the title. Any suggestions?

I don't know I like the title; its plain and simple but I guess I could suggest "Deep within the eyes". This is a great theme for a poem because the eyes are very powerful and have different meanings. Overall, it was well done.

the piece i can relate too. last lines are very punching and bitter truth

[stars are far]

well, that was penned well, and eyes, yes many stories are hid in the eyes of each one of us..
that was very excellent

The eyes do tell stories. I have seen yearning eyes, pissed-off eyes and sad eyes. Doesn't matter the color. When we are content. The eyes come alive and can make someone sad and happy. I like your description. Last lines is true. We rarely know the person. All of us hold secrets and regret. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
