Eyes that do not lie, bold and gracious, both young and old
That hold me bound, hypnotically drowned in flowing love
From above all the wreckage of the world with a message
Of peace, goodwill, and much joy to fill my soul to fullness
In goodness as well, even as I kiss eyes that spy my heart
From the courts of heaven made real in such lovely appeal
That seals my destiny while singing songs of greatest cheer
Eyes that do not lie, bold and gracious, both old and young,
I have only begun to fall into your emerald-colored ocean
Where you hold me bound and drowning in your love . . .
Note: Although mine is different in tone and tenor, thank you goes out to Varnika Jain and her poem, “The Eyes Do Deceive,” for inspiring my own verses on eyes, which I have always loved and considered “windows to the soul.”
Wow, this was mesmerizing. Thank you so much for the honour! I am truly humbled.❤️
And thank you for such a kind compliment, dear Varnika!
