Premium Member What eyes hide


Many different colours,
sizes and even shapes,
some are more beautiful,
others are just common,
some are more expressive,
others are just unexpressive.
Eyes can see, eyes can talk,
and beyond our eyes 
there are hidden worlds.
They can show happiness,
sadness, glory, love, 
passion and much more, 
but they also can be a wall
to look at; what eyes hide,
sometimes can be a mystery
for us to discover. 

Our soul mirror's eyes can be
when you can cross the main screen,
otherwise, they only are cold icebergs to avoid.
Oh...what eyes hide?,
we all want to see 
behind that challenging mirror,
behind the blue or the hazel,
the black, the green, or brown,
behind the enigma
of those, whose eyes don't talk for themselves.
What eyes hide
is our forever question,
which answer will aways be 
a big equation to solve.
