Sunlite Wanter Poet Quatrain

The Mystery of Eyes

The Mystery of Eyes

I place pen to paper, look into your eyes,
How to shadow them to show they’ve just cried,
Draw the same circle, a center dark and deep,
I look into them, study, and I, too, weep.

You are so kind, you sit with patience,
While I, an amateur paint with slow cadence,
What is the secret to the eyes’ communication?
When they change not the spirit’s shaped reflection.

Becca Teagan April 8, 2018 at 2:46 PM I love this! It's so profound, there is something special about someone eyes, something magical and revealing, and to capture the magic on paper isn't easy. Sunlite Wanter April 8, 2018 at 6:00 PM You are so kind! Thank you!

Caren Krutsinger April 7, 2018 at 1:16 AM How to shadow them, to show that they've cried. To me this indicates an artist who does not want to capture anything except the very essence of the mysteries of the magical, mystical eye. I like this so much! When they change not the spirit's shaped reflection, endorses my theory that you are talking about the third eye. KUDOS! Sunlite, this is FANTASTIC! Sunlite Wanter April 7, 2018 at 11:34 AM What a grand comment! Thank you!

Richard Lamoureux April 6, 2018 at 8:14 AM Yes eyes are indeed a challenge to capture. Once you do, the painting captivates your audience. Sunlite Wanter April 8, 2018 at 5:57 PM You are so right, Richard. Thank you!
