Ode Within The Eyes


Oh, the eyes

Such beauty that lies beneath

Yet, what lies do you tell as true;

Though ever pleasant are they

Nonetheless, I must gaze with my own

To see the mysteries you have shown

 

Green, red, brown, or blue

You cast upon me a glowing hue

Spent in the waves that you spew

Your silent words are toxic; Tender

 

Envigoring passions; compassion; distractions

It matters not the outcome

For I am content with the intent of a thousand stars

The glory of the lights shown within thee

The entrapped feelings you inspire within me

 

What better way to be shown weakness;

No better way to feel meekness;

I can feel your discreteness

Or better yet, your completeness

 

I can hear the quiet roar,

Enticing me to wonder,

How far you’ve made my heart to soar

And how much knees be made asunder

I do not care to know the answer

<p>i love your use of rhyme and rhythm. My favorite line is &#39;<span style="color: rgb(37, 37, 37); font-family: ITCFranklinGothicStd-Book, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Your silent words are toxic; Tender&#39; it&#39;s very relatable and can be said of many people&#39;s words in today&#39;s world.&nbsp;</span></p>
