Rhia Madison Thomer Poet Free verse

Eyes of a Stranger

YOUR EYES ARE THE BRIGHTEST--
 they
     eyes
         of
           a
             liar
a glass heart never felt so
              E()M()P()T()Y()
your a 
  STRANGER to me now
are you a stranger in your own
         SKIN?
do
    you feel
 at all?
Who       Are       You
     (who)     (are)     (you)?
Your heart
      it used to be
in you             EYES.

i wish that i knew....
you hand
was in          MINE.

and i wish you weren't going.

You   HEART 
within me.

                           STRANGER
So i am
   H--O--L--L--O--W
without you.
WHO ARE YOU?

and i wonder
did you         SEE?

Why have they taken him?

the tears
      hiding
         in my
             eyes.
EYES EYES

eyes of a stranger.
--OF ALL THE COLORS

Here, take my hand, and I promise, I won't let go!!!:):)~Smile, that is, if "You" wish? Again, as often seems to be with "You Precious Madison Thomer," creativity amid the treasures of the soul, are born once more...."My Love To You Always & Forever, John!!!":):)~Smile, how about another....
