Her Eyes

If you look close, gaze long enough, stare deep

Into her eyes,

You will see

They are beautiful

Deep brown with a glint within

Lashes so copious, lined with thick black

They glow

They tell you tales,

Those eyes

Unimaginable

Her eyes… the passage to her humanness

Her lips curve up into a smile, a smirk,

Spiteful words they spit

She may utter avowals of passion

Of intelligence

And of bitter hatred

They tighten up with anger, trembles with guilt

Her cheeks, they blush of flattery

Bloom with joy and line up out of exhaustion

Hey nose, it wrinkles with disgust

Twirls up in girlish giggles

But her eyes,

Never does the light in them dim away

Never does the tale change

Oh so beautiful

Her eyes cry out the tale of humanness

If only you would look close, look deep

Stare long enough

Into her lustrous eyes…
