The Eyes Are Windows

One look seen in the eye can speak a thousand words.

The eyes are windows of the heart
Wherein transparency will show
A myriad feelings to impart
From where in sadness, tears do flow.

The eyes will say contents of heart
The speech two lovers freely speak,
For Silence eloquently starts
Romance in muted communique.

The eyes are windows of all cares,
Display the sad and wearied soul;
Distant looks and empty stares
Reveal a man who is not whole.

His weak attempts to somehow hide
What's clearly felt and seen-
Will showcase all the stuff inside
Deep secrets of where love had been.

The eyes are windows too of kindness
Touching looks that give embrace,
Blessing one words of forgiveness
Of bitter hurts there is no trace.

The eyes of Love are open windows,
Giving joy, shared happiness;
Reaching forth to let one know
It always seeks to bless with goodness.

I agree with the poem. Eyes can open doors and can close them too. Eyes filled with joy and happiness can create joy to the person blessed to look into them. Thank you for the outstanding poem.

Some say a picture is worth a thousand words, but I do believe you found what speaks more than pictures ever could. A very nice read indeed.

Yes are eyes helping feed the mind and soul. Love how this comes together epically the first stanza
The eyes are windows of the heart
wherein transparency will show
A myriad feelings to impart
From where in sadness, tears do flow.
Great job, well done.

Oh my,,,,I thought I was singing the poem because of the rhythmic pattern. (=
Not only it is a song to my ears, but also a garden full of flowers to my eyes. The message is very clear and "well-craftedly" laid.
