Eileen Manassian Poet Senryu

Notes About The Poem

Your Eyes See Me

you see what is there
the others see what they want
truth...their perspective

they chose their lenses
you see with your naked eye
diamond in the rough

to them I am veiled 
layers of misconceptions
their vision is blurred

with you I am me
there's no fear in your presence
YOUR eyes see BEAUTY

Jade

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder".....
and you have beautiful eyes
for that.....I am grateful!

Paul Callus May 12, 2015 at 1:16 PM Hi Eileen! I am sure that there are many eyes that see both outer and inner beauty. I pity those who can't see beyond the surface, or else choose to ignore reality. Hugs // paul Eileen Manassian May 12, 2015 at 10:57 PM So have I....on so many fronts. It hasn't been easy...I'm better now...just. Thanks for the second reply.

Poesy Relish May 12, 2015 at 10:12 AM wow Eileen... loved this one... and I second your thoughts... people see what they want to see... no one is concerned to know the truth, but at the same time they fail to realise they are blinded... I am glad there is someone with beautiful eyes next to you... hugs, nad ..#7 Eileen Manassian May 12, 2015 at 10:40 AM Thanks, Nadiya. Richard has been a strong hold in my life.
