Many Ways To Eye-Win

I know those eyes that look in many ways      
Giving me different shades and faces                 
The eyes of my mom, drippings of grace              
I know those eyes that look in many ways      
The eyes of dad, strict and soft always                   
A turned blind eye or casted down eyes             
I know those eyes that look in many ways      
Giving me different shades and faces.               

I know those eyes that look in many ways  
Giving me different shades and faces.        
Oh, the eyes of my neighbors debased      
I know those eyes that look in many ways  
Green with jealousy those evil eyes      
Looking from the corners of the eyes
I know those eyes that look in many ways.
Giving me different shades and faces

I know those eyes that look in many ways
Giving me different shades and faces
Eyes like two burnt holes in *all-embrace
I know those eyes that look in many ways
And eyes on the back of head to spy
Those Bed-room eyes, those feasting eyes
I know those eyes that look in many ways
Giving me different shades and faces.

Dr. Ram, I can see you put a lot of thought into this one. It's a powerful poem. I'm not sure if you are doing triolet rhyme scheme. but as a rhyming poem, it was a great read! Congratulations.
