Image Credits: Me (for the photography) and Hubby (for being my model)
Holding a light, and guiding through
Paving ways, they throw a cue
That steady gaze; the knowing looks
Flipping leaves, of us helpless books
With dancing flames, they spill out fire
They burn me down; Like I were a pyre
A glance, a wink; a flash, a glare
Telling me things, no lips could dare
Sedate and grave; Unflinching calm
A force they bear; Loud as a storm
A sweep or two, of lashes dense
Making me melt, and matters tense
Wisdom, charm, and dreams that soar
Warmth and cool, they’ve these and more
Open or not, it is the same
When faced with them, peace shirks in shame
I dive into, those eyes so brown
Deeper than seas, yet I won’t drown…
The eyes have so much power to communicate…how well you say that in your poem.
Thanks.. (um.. can I address you as Martin?)
The eyes have some communication powers indeed…
Just want to say what a great blog you got here!
I’ve been around for quite a lot of time, but finally decided to show my appreciation of your work!
Thumbs up, and keep it going!
Cheers

Greetings from a first time reader. Loved the imagery in your poem. Playing with themes in this manner reads very easily, much like a call-and-answer sort of vibe. I look forward to reading more of your work.

Not a problem. I’m a total poetry nerd so I spend waaay too much time reading and writing. Your poetry caught my eye and there was no way I couldn’t stop to comment. Nothing better than to find other poets who are willing to share their work with the wider world. Can’t wait to read some more of your work, so keep up the writing! Stop by The Fools Back Pocket sometime, I update a lot so there is usually something new to peruse. Enjoy the weekend,

what a brilliant poem! indeed, the unspoken words conveyed through one’s eyes are far more powerful than the spoken words. well done, kavita!
Indeed, Bing! Eyes can speak waaaay louder than words (or even actions, for that matter!)!! No?!

First, Kavita, so good of you to post commet on Musings of a Passanger explaining how to link to Rally so we can find her. Kind and thoughtful.
Yes, indeed, the eyes do have it and you have said it so well. And they do hold the light …
Happy Rally, Kavita.
Gee…anytime, Jamie!
And thank YOU for your kind and thoughtful words at my blog! Your comments are something I always look to! They seem to point to /highlight those aspects of my poems that I myself have an inclination towards! And I feel very happy when someone points out something good about those same aspects! And you are a re one of those “someones”
Glad you liked this poem, J… Yes, eyes do a hold a very very unique power indeed!
