You, looking at me Come and let me look closely To see what's behind those Eloquent eyes, restlessly dancing Bleeding ruby red With indecipherable meanings Are you happy, sad, or in-between? Do your eyes reveal wholeheartedly Your inner turmoil and untold secrets? Your virtues, vices and cardinal sins? Your scars and demons? Will they explain The answer behind the answer of you? Come closer and let me peek Longingly into the window of your soul What stories do your eyes tell? Do they speak of love and understanding? Perhaps pain and sadness? Care or cold indifference? Will your eyes pierce through My heart like a Cupid's bayonet And wrap my soul in plenary bliss Like a pleased dog wagging its tail? Or make my soul weep If you cruelly gaze into my eyes?
