Eyes

She stared with loneliness

Into swirling irises.

They looked Oh! So familiar.

They seemed to allure.

 

Those pools that shone

Like dazzling diamonds.

Those pools that were prone

To childlike curiosity.

 

She looked into the eyes

That twinkled with wonder,

That gleamed with mischief,

Dazed as though, a spell they were under.

 

She peeped into the depth

Of an ocean of maturity.

She gazed at the stars

Of a galaxy of mystery.

 

Those eyes that seemed

Well beyond their years.

Those eyes that held

Knowledge of many tears.

 

She looked unabashed into

Those dauntless eyes.

The eyes that smiled alone.

The eyes that were her own.
