Best Eye Contact Poems
Eye Contact
Some said he had those scary eyes,
unnerving, somehow seeming to look
clear through, capable of seeing the
truth – of you. They didn’t stare at
you, just sort of found you and held
you in an eerie embrace. There was
a glint to the eyes, a sharpness to
the edges, a weary, and wary, wiliness.
And yet, they drew you in, these cold
and smoldering, blue-gray questioners
of all they see. Tight lines rimmed the
edges of the pools, white tipped lashes
fanning and refocusing the laser looks.
And then they smiled, as if something
had just reminded them of a pleasing
sight, a soft sunrise rose across his face,
a gentle fox to kit wink, an unguarded
moment on the parapet of life.

It was nothing but eye contact
Because we haven't uttered a word
That was all we could do to interact
I prayed for the right decision from the lord
Didn't matter how beautiful her eyes were
Because they stabbed me in the heart…..
Like a cutting edge sword
It was nothing but eye contact
Because honestly I was afraid to act
Though I knew she wanted and expected me to
But I had no courage to make it through
It was nothing but eye contact
I know she was disappointed in me
But she had to forgive me
Because a high school student could do what?
Actually he anything could do not!
It was nothing but eye contact
But eventually I even lost it
Hiding her eyes from me was a fact
And that price I could never cost it!
It was nothing but eye contact
Though she tried many times…..
To make a conversation
I was avoiding her with no real explanation
What made us apart and kept the separation
Were my unreasonable fears and hesitation
It was nothing but eye contact
For months we didn't speak a word
I was worrying about her and my feet got cold
But she didn't care about people and was so bold
Will she ever tear up that page or even fold?
Will I ever get a chance to tell her….
What I should have told?
It was nothing but eye contact
But when she showed me her love
I didn't know how to react
The only thing I did was putting her off
She may never know how for me that was tough
Though I did that for her own sake
I still blame myself for it….
As my own mistake!
It was nothing but eye contact
Will I ever forget her glamorous hazel eyes…..
And her cute dimples when she smiles?
Will I ever forget how funny she is and pretty?
And how playful she is just like a little kitty!
It was nothing but eye contact
What I can never forget is our last look
And how painful it was and how long it took
I've been searching but……
Couldn't find out in any book
About that way to say good bye!
It was nothing but eye contact
And our eyes had a pact
Which was broken…..
The moment I saw her eyes sad and red
Since then our eyes never met
And my heart knew it was the end
It was my fault that I now regret
The love that out of my hands slipped
Because it was nothing but eye contact!
"But Motek, it's Hanukkah!
You MUST be with the FAMILY on HANUKKAH!!"
(Ok Mom, sure Mom, right away Mom, I'll come home)
"Rabbi Grossman DOES do such LOVELY services!
Every Jew in Suffolk County will be there!
Challah Bread! Matza Ball Soup! SONGS on the ACCORDION!"
(Merry, cheery, Hava Nagilla surface tension happiness...)
"Smile everyone, and I'll take a picture!!!"
(CHEESE!!!!)
"Motek... I DO wish you spoke with him already...
I mean, it's been over a YEAR now...notta WORD!
It BREAKS my heart to see you two like this..."
(I'm sorry Mom)
"I mean honest to ELOHIM!!
Brothers should LOVE each other!!!
How can you be so NONCHALANT about this???
Breaks my heart."
(Your answer lies right in front of you Mom,
You just need to know where to look...and where not to)
We've all seen it and most of us have done it.
What is it you may inquire?
It's the funny things people do to avoid eye contact.
First we have " The Scan." That's when someone trying
to avoid eye contact will look at you from head to toe with
finally orchestrated up and down rapid eye movement,
there by avoiding the allotted time which constitutes actual looking.
Then there is what's called the " Look Back." Yes, you can already guess,
this is when you pretend you heard someone call your name behind you
or you suddenly wonder if you left something in the store you just left.
Have I picked yours yet? We next have a classic known as " Phantom Calls."
Isn't it amazing that just when someone is looking at you, you remembered
that important call you needed to make or your sure your cellphone just rang,
so of course you need to check it.Then we have the " Head drop." It's
mind boggling to calculate the chance that your neck muscles without
warning turn to jello and your head drops at precisely the time someone looks your way. These are some of the skillful ways one can avoid making eye contact. I hope you've enjoyed them.
Intuitive attraction,closed eye interaction
spoken words braille's translation
dead silence amidst their hesitation
intuition their sacred present
through vacant eyes each felt the other's presence
in silence their hearts' rhythm is heard
as passions were observed
gentle hands touch facial expressions
their physical identity an unanswered question
Emotions...facial braille
sullen expressions,complexions pale
facial texture,old and smooth as fetal skin
both transcend first impressions
their kind words contradict facial braille expressions
beneath their aging veils , their true impressions
observed , yet both transcend timid nerves
Since birth their eyes were blind
neither yearned vision
their intuition lends its wisdom
eye contact.
who needs it?
like when i try holding my anger
and you tell me to look up
out from behind my knees.
i hesitate. i know i'll cave.
when i look at you,
when i see your eyes,
i lose my train of thought.
a spark goes off
and my soul catches fire.
so you start smiling
and i cover my face
and i can't remember
why i was mad in the first place.
Eye to eye contact: A Stratagem
Sneak a glance to test reception.
Try several times.
Once fleeting contact is made, ramp it up.
Move your gaze in a triangle.
Focus on one eye, then the other, then the mouth
Repeat and repeat this, over and over again.
You can't make contact with both eyes at once,
so triangulate.
Any eye contact shorter than two seconds long is considered rude.
Contact longer than five seconds is far too intense for most,
except for lovers who can endlessly
stand the stare right into their inner being.
Failing to make contact when prompted can also be seen as rude or submissive.
Keep your blink rate normal.
It's OK to break your gaze from time to time,
to share a break in contact.
Look away, to the side, not down,
as this is too submissive and shameful.
There you have it!
How to have touching eyes that make contact.
I get eye contact all over the place.
I love eye contact, it's the handshake of the face.
Eye contact that releases “Sweet Hello”
And as many times “Sweeter Cheerio”,
Budding love sung with optical stereo
The kick started by A Romeo.
Eye Contact that says “Nice to Know you”
Though I’ve yet to be told “who”
Wires of love spark in her eyes,
Speedy request for his names wise
A longing to have her number
His first call to be sure a Bomber!
Eye contact praying for the others E-mail
And this goal achieving without fail
Plus the Spellbinder's residential address
One’s first visit in adorable dress.
But suggest I won’t eye contact
By Adam and Eve disdaining Tact;
Mine happened to have been a rushed pact
That Lord God and Christ lacked…
To soon a relationship enter
With libido at its center;
A love affair start having,
With a precious lot waiving…
Chiefly, knickers, dropping on the floor
Just beside a hurriedly slammed door!
wide-eyed
a transition
to tenderness:
entangled
lines
of transparent
shapes
dropped
liberated
now
interlaced..

EYE CONTACT
CLASS MATE
Call it yours, Call it mine,
The tale we wrote was glorifying.
I was a driller ,
Your eyes were the mine.
'Excavated until I could see through them,
The mesmerizing light was the love with shine .
Light wet eyes with high hopes charm,
The cold beat I got when it met mine.
The skipped beat and the heartily terror,
Brought a smile not of fear.
Our eyes were talking mouth hardly said a word,
'Cause it was enough for the bashful us.
Beats were fast I could not resist,
I had them on the first place when you saw me.
But kept them aside so no one will know ,
Stopped saying 'cause no word could rhyme.
The moment was over but I loved the past,
Past was the journal and I could not stop encoding your thought .
All I had was this tale as mine,
And now I stopped cause no word could rhyme.
Soft strokes through your velvety golden brown hair
Enhanced by your smile that creates such a beautiful glare
I am in paradise when your arms grip around my waist
Vow to never let go of this love all my life I have chased
Tender kisses in the brightly lit night sky
Praying softly that those lips never once will say goodbye
My dreams are invaded from the thought your gentle touch
I never fathomed in my mind that one could care for another so much
Tears fall from my chin like raindrops from the heavens above
I've been so many other places and have yet to find a greater love
I brush my tongue upon my lips to taste your sweet kiss
I hesitate briefly to enjoy this heavenly bliss
My soul clings to my body not wanting to leave just yet
I refuse to let this joy I feel fall in a deep hole of regret
I try to walk away but somehow fate forbids
I can't even stop staring at those angelic, hazel drops beneath your eyelids
eye contact
she was so beautiful
her smile keeps me humble
I never forget the first
day I set my eyes on you
oh baby you were so outstanding
I knew instantly have seen
an angel
my heart beat so differently
when you replied my hi
your voice hmmm so innocent
oh baby you killed the ego
in me oh yes
I can't let go off you
I can't leave if I don't know you
what a beauty
what a diva
what an innocent creature
I remember how share I was
yet I step up my ego
I buried my pride
cos that all I need to create
an attention that brought
those smile in your face
those little tingling of hands
those little legs move
while you still standing
with me
oh baby you drive me insane
with your humour
is all same till date like
the first contact that
brought us this far
and that was the
eye contact
