The Eyes Have It All

Look at me,
Look deep into my eyes,
Those sigh grief and behold your lies.

The most beautiful creatures,
Those witness their own beautiful disasters.

Those look down defying gravity,
To relentlessly hunt for brevity.

Eyes that mask the palpitation of heart,
When they behold the marks of lust on your shirt.

Eyes that curl in silence,
Dripping titanium tears to your violence.

Eyes that still never fail to search for you,
In crowds, and in reflections in drops of dew.

Look at me,
Look deep into my eyes,
See how beautifully I've captured you,
In these tiny mirrors of my sights.
