Stare

Stare into the eyes 
beyond the pretty smiles
portraying in disguise
this walk of many miles
 
Into my eyes I see your stare
our focus refuses to flare
Long live beauty from within
Long live the moments we share
Short live the physical glare
 
Into my eyes look
Discover your stare
Pure and  productive
The center of our objective remains 
beyond pretty smiles
portraying in disguise
this walk of many miles
 
Look into my eyes
Now tell me, what do you see?
