Eyeful of Emotions

Eyes can show so much emotion
Like a heart filled with devotion
Shining like stars in the night
Glowing oh so big and bright

Hatred can really be seen
In dark eyes so big and mean
Glaring at you with disdain
Causing you heartache and pain

Sorrow is another way
Eyes tell a story every day
When tears fill up and make them moist
Your sadness shows-- you have no choice

Happiness is seen for miles
Eyes start dancing with big smiles
Showing everyone you meet
The joyfulness in your heart beat

Envy can not be disguised
Its like green daggers in your eyes
That's aiming for somebody who
You think broke your heart in two

Eyes are windows to the soul
Colorful or black as coal
Depending on what mood your in
Eyes tell stories time and again

What a wonderful, beautiful and cheerful poem that speaks so much truth, everyline speaks truth! You can read someone from their eyes, even the color of their eyes tells a thing or two about them as a person! Brown eyed people are cheerful, not shy, happy always joyful, but have a darkside to them! Just like me! A great write my dear Robin! xoxo hugs and kisses all around for you my dear Robin! :)

Like your "Mind" poem, you captured the vast array of things that can be conveyed through the eyes alone. Great job :)
