I like to see the eyes

When we truly can see. The eyes allow us into true places and mystery.

                               I like to see the eyes

I don't like when I can't see the eyes.
The eyes can tell you a thousand stories.
They can warn you to escape or make you wish to stay
to be able to  gaze into the gentle and loving eyes.

Sweet women so necessary  to form a life.
They can give you the chance to desire love, life and give you purpose
to be alive.

When a women desire. She can look into your eyes. Take you to hell or heaven
with a glance. Make you wish for everything or nothing.

I made a wish for the woman with the laughting eyes. Kind eyes that make you
dream and hold hope. I want the girl who sing and dance in the rain. Who tell me.
"Life is to be lived. Remember the good days and forget the bad. We are just women
and men trying to know peace and love in the mist of chaos. "

I wanted everything once and  I had everything and had nothing.
Today I want peace and a good place to rest.
Somewhere on the road of life. I learn the simple things we hold on tight to.

The smile of  child.
The laughter of people.
To be able to look into the eyes of a lover and see forever.

Maybe my greed had stole away all my kindness?
The road was too twisted?
I like to see the eyes.

Maybe some sweet woman will pity me with a smile.
Allow me to drown in her beautiful eyes and find laughter and hope once more.

A persons eyes can reveal so many things. However within modern society people use other mediums to communicate. Maybe it is because they are afraid of showing emotion. Thank you for posting this piece of work. Even though it is a re-write it is excellent.

Thank you. I have 40 journals of poetry from almost 40 years of writing. Some need a re-write. I was a note book writer till 9 years go.

They say the eyes are the window to the soul and I truly believe that. You have captured the essence very well in this poem.

Thank you Lena for reading and the comment. You are correct. The eyes can open doors or close the door before it is opened.

I have always liked eyes and felt comfort in them. Now I understand why. You have explained it perfectly. :)

Old wisdom. If we are truly allowed to look into the eyes. You can see forever into another soul if they allow us. Thank you for reading and the comment.

This is full of honesty, CP. You want to see the eyes as what they say, eyes are the windows to the soul.

Haha! So what can you say with this one speaking without her eyes? LOL


You have a wonderful piece here again, CP. Thanks for the share.

Thank you Dhaye. Sometimes words on paper can make you dream and hold hope.
