Teddy Kimathi Poet Free verse

The Eyes Have It

They see my fears,
        when I'm putting 
                 a brave face to the world.

They see my sadness,
          when I'm smiling
                  in all my photographs.

They see my anger,
         when I seem gentle
              and composed in posture.

They see my deepest secrets,
       memories, dreams, taste, passion,
            and everything that stirs my soul to the core.

Those beautiful pairs of eyes
     have been in the same journey
           with me for days, weeks, and years....
