    Eyes

    eyes are filled with wonder
    glimmers in the light
    full of joy
    such a beautiful sight

    some eyes are blue
    and some are green
    Brown is a common color
    everyone has seen

    you can see emotion
    happiness and sad
    by a persons' eyes
    you can see the rough night they had

    When I look in your eyes
    love is all i see
    I lose myself in them
    we were meant to be

    Lately i have noticed
    a dullness that has shown
    you seem depressed and lonely
    your eyes have made it known

    Your eyes are slowly dying
    of joyness and of pride
    when i saw this in your eyes
    I looked away and cried

    So maybe if you're lonely
    with having me around
    maybe you should go
    and leave me on the ground

    I want your eyes to glimmer
    I want your eyes to shine
    I want you to be happy
    even if you're not mine

    The ending stanza seemed quite selfless, and I think it's refreshing to see where someone else might have written, "I want you to be mine" Lovely. ShadowStealer

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
