Mascara

When you give me your eyes
Its me getting roses

Two precious things
Looking at me with poses

Those two things we use to bring
Satisfaction, desire and devotion 

The tools we use to unconfuse
and plainly show emotion

Two arrows shot with two lines
To pull the captured in

Bring attention to the lips
That sometimes give a grin

This thing called love uncontrolled
That eyes take and bring

Unspoken words to a heart
That listens to what it sees

Mascara is a fascinating poem. I enjoyed the communication that looking into someone's eye can give rise to. The heartfelt romance brings overall happiness.
