They say the eyes are the gateway to the soul, if all you can see is darkness stay away. Tom

I was just lookin at this artists artwork today earlier. And your one liner is beautiful and so deep and im sure you can paint those eyes if you wanted. But a soulless eye, isnt worthy of time. You are an amazing painter and poet! Love the rhyme too! Sending you light

That's quite a coincidence. I find the artwork intriguing. Thanks for the compliments, Ink. Still searching for the soul belonging to the eyes of he who haunts my thoughts.
