Soul Mirror Eyes

 
Written: January 07, 2024
                _________________________________________

eyes are soul gates      even in disguise      they do not lie
visual cues that transcend verbal expression

but it also shares one's mood      with lenticular opiates
spanning an effluvium-trail-laden sky

select a person and share eye contact     while whimpering
gaze might betray a false grin          quoth-trust aegis

stupendous azure eyes!     aggregations of night elixir
spellbind the world with      an aura of simmering

wispy pearls in her eyes—soul rises without adronitis
I cross cosmic cloisters and Eden's bright bower

I grip men truths in their odd      dismal ways
the sheer number of words is overwhelming

once cupid arrows hit    a cosmic glow     covers the world
glorious       as sharpness of your sight      and dawn dew

her azure eyes purify and calm me      as oceanic waves
no drift inbred    ocean fowls flutter     feel felicity 

ethereal eyes whisper to my soul      sparkling with glee 
pristine eyes hypnosis     a wish for propinquity shine 

as the sun rises      shards of light reveal her eyes
dreams sap my mind       cocoons and eyes beguile me

after inhaling and kissing goldenly—all else is plain
all the grace I skipped—in the sun wind and rain

as dew at dawn chatoyant eyes embrace you
butterfly-like in gestalt     despite a sanguine heartbeat

those eyes are as sibilant as the rising sun
they send doves soaring      and senses roaring       

some eyes are drenched in love until they sparkle
delphic soul shy—untamed    my love never defamed

grateful for blue skies—for all—and blue eyes for you

Ink Empress January 7, 2024 at 8:05 PM What a powerful write this is dr sotto, I believe eyes do speak volumes, and are powerful window to ones soul, can either break shake or make someones day. Your arrangement of lines here is a bit different to your usual but shows how diverse you are in arrangement plus trying different forms and themes of poetry. Really impeccable! I love the ending lines the most, they hit so strong for me and i can resonate especially with “ those eyes are as sibilant as the rising sun—“ FAVE this is
