Kash Poet Poet Free verse

Don'T Close Your Eyes

Don't close your eyes
I am seeing myself in them,
mirrors may lie
but your eyes always speak the truth.
Let me check my face
how much of it is still face
and how much turned to mask,
let me judge how far
I am off the track
from my promise-days,
let me see my eyes in your eyes
how much they have lost innocence,
how those learned lines of forehead
replaced my candid face.


I am getting blurred.....
are you crying dear?
teardrops in your eyes....
will they clean me,my image?
Is it so?
Then shed few teardrops for me.

But.....
Please don't close your eyes.

Your approach to the challenge is really cool, I really liked how you say that looking through other people's eyes gives a better reflection of ourselves than if we look at mirrors...way to go with this poem! btw sent you soupmail...
