Glen Schwartz Poet Quatrain

Your Eyes

Your eyes are like a window,
         I can see right to your soul..
          I can see the many scars, 
  where you were forced to pay life's toll..

      Your eyes they are quite useless, 
          when your mind is blind..
       And it's hard to win the race , 
           by looking far behind.. 

    Your eyes they seem to glisten ,
     as they smile and wink at me..
    They dispel all my desperation,
     and set my mind to poetry..

    Your eyes they tell your story,
       and I can read it well..
    so if we lock eyes at a party.
    Know your story, I will tell..

Andrea Dietrich April 3, 2017 at 8:44 PM REally like this one too, Glen. Your name is a very nice name. My first kiss was Glenn, but with two N's!!! Glen Schwartz April 3, 2017 at 9:24 PM It means Beautiful mountain valley In Irish Gaelic. I never knew what that second N was for anyway.. It would be so cool if I could say the same but your the first Andrea I ever met ..lol :)

Jesse Zerlaut March 28, 2017 at 8:54 AM This poem is great! there really is truth to eyes being windows to the soul. I've caught myself sharing gazes of familiarity with people that I can't even begin to explain. Not awkward, not out of place.. just to look back and forth at each other and find a natural link somehow. well wrote! thanks for sharing. 7+++ from me Glen Schwartz March 28, 2017 at 6:42 PM Thank you Jesse .. Maybe your the same , but if I stay focused on one set of eyes to long I'll have to write the next bay on burst.. So glad you liked it just so happy to be read..

Paul Callus March 25, 2017 at 4:38 PM Your take on 'eyes' makes sense, Glen. It is said that eyes are the mirror to our heart, mind and soul! Regards // paul Glen Schwartz March 26, 2017 at 10:32 AM Thank you Paul You get it !! Sometimes I see too much in another's eyes and I have to write it down to clear my head..

Elizabeth Kinch March 25, 2017 at 12:43 PM Our eyes convey so much....well written Glen. Glen Schwartz March 26, 2017 at 10:35 AM Thank you Elizabeth, glad you read it.. Mine are Blue.. Someday I'll figure out how to get my picture up.. lol
