Notes About The Poem

"people have so much pain inside them that they're

not even aware of  . .  . "

Quote by - Marina Abramovic

________________________________

Through Staring Eyes

We know that the eyes are the window to the soul, do we fear others seeing the pain that we hold; are we so afraid that our spirit will be stole? Through staring eyes let your innermost thoughts unfold. Do we fear others seeing the pain that we hold? Marina teaches us how to go way beyond, through staring eyes- let your innermost thoughts unfold; oh, can we open up and emotionally bond. Marina teaches us how to go way beyond, she had said goodbye to her lover years ago; oh, can we open up and emotionally bond? Yes, as he sat across from her the tears did flow. She had said goodbye to her lover years ago, no words were said as their eyes filled up with the pain; yes, as he sat across from her the tears did flow, each emotion we feel in this life leaves a stain. No words were said- as their eyes filled up with the pain. Are we so afraid that our spirit will be stole? Each emotion we feel in this life- leaves a stain. We know . . . the eyes are the window to the soul. ______________________________ January 7, 2019 Poetry/Pantoum/Through Staring Eyes Copyright Protected, ID 19-1101-857-02 All Rights Reserved.
