Eyes (Remove filter)
Through Chestnut Eyes
It is incredible,
How so small of stares - often end up,
Giving the most enchanting moments to some souls.
The subtle strokes,
Made by those chestnut pupils,
A placid feeling in my heart it instills.
The sun gleamed on every one of these streaks,
Unravelling, the depth with which our eyes meet.
His eyes glittering more than the stars,
And glinted in the sun, like sh...

Flowers of Misfortune
In the silence that resonates,
a lament of absences,
the flowers bloom in the shadows,
whispers of a life that fades away.
Eyes searching the horizon
for a trace of hope,
but pain, like a poem,
is sculpted in the words of the day.
The city is a labyrinth of steps
that reflects solitude at every corner -
laughter dissolves in the wind
like falling petals,
disguised in the chaos.

To suffer
Ah, to suffer,
is not just an invisible burden
that we drag through the streets of life.
It is the mark, the scar,
of existence that shapes us.
To suffer is the pain
that teaches us to see the world
with weary eyes,
where reality is not a straight line
but a labyrinth of thorns and hopes.
In the deep silence of the night,
where the moon whispers secrets of pain,
we find the echo of...

Doe
Wide eyed gaze
And lusty lashes
"You and those doe eyes"
He'd say
Before he hunted
And feasted
In my eyes, what did he see?
Shades of browns and yellows?
Hues of blues and greens?
The girl of all his dreams?
Someone he could love?
An angel from above?
Or did he only see himself?
A hunter on attack
Hoping to fulfill some predatory promise
Sensing a weakness
Smirking at the bre...

Eyes on Me
I don’t want to be seen
I don’t want to be perceived
I wish I could go anywhere and be invisible.
People are everywhere
Eyes are everywhere
They’re all living their own lives but why do I feel as though mine is being watched?
As though they’re looking for a mistake in me
Is my hair messy?
Is my outfit mismatched?
Do I walk wei...

Wanderlust
I've been accused of
Not having wander lust
But only if they knew
How often I wander
Looking into your eyes
Sometimes losing my way
Getting lost
Into the depths of them
For hours together
Time is irrelevant
To the frustrated artist in me
As I keep trying to trace out
Your eyes
With mine
Without getting lost in them

Once again
Where was the fire that burned with in,
Water and earth would bring it to an end.
Giving thanks for all she had,
The mystery of life were never bad.
Flying high like the eagle and hawk,
She was wise never to get caught.
Swimming thur the stars of change,
Everything could be the same.
Better find the truth within,
Tomorrow will be just like him.....
FIRE 🔥

'Fore he die
From those days of catching fireflies,
To the days of seeing how night lies.
Being the one around the center of seven,
Who knew he might be overlooken.
Soon the days turned into a mere trickle,
As the nights lasting for hours made him feeble.
As the stars passed by felt so much without any lace,
Thus the creation of a treasure chest took place.
Not really the trea...

Forever and always
Lost in your blue eyes like I'm floating in the sea
I still get shivers when you look at me
No matter how far we have come
From girlfriend to an incredible mum
You still own my heart, my soul and mind
When I'm with you I fully unwind
You make me the best person I can be
We can take on anything with you beside me
Hand in hand, check to check
I still look at you and for...

Just Another Day in the Coffee Shop
it’s not always that you catch the eye
but there are times
where you simply can’t deny
the connection that the 'eye' implies
remember the eye. it never lies
it happens to be a sunny day
a young man seats solo at a cafe
with a coffee in hand
in and out he breathes air
he is observant per usual
allowing it all to simply pass
a beautiful women he spies

Dripping
latest tears not necessary
descending like ripe apples
hapless hints of discontent
the dew sunlight dapples
I remember when we met
calf with a hint of muscle

amid a mad festive bustle
not a gratuitous weeping
eyes dry as desert dunes
she swayed like Salome
irrespective of the tunes
veils swathe damp eyes

Chains In Your Eyes
women always a problem
never knew my own mind
happy to get what I could
you the best I could find
chains rattle in your eyes
I'm drowning in your malice
fate led me to your clutches
drink this poisoned chalice
you left me black and blue
sub-human and perplexed
wondering where you were
what punch coming next
little self-esteem to begin
you turne...

Effect Divine
Where have the words gone?
Emptied vocabulary I wonder!
I can’t frame a single praise…
Biscuits she offered me politely
I had only peanuts to exchange.
I looked a savage in my own eyes
And she, a harbinger of change.
No thoughts about her for days together
Although she is cynosure of my eyes,
My stillness added to the inner solitude
Yet couldn’t create the effect...

No Tomorrow In Your Eyes
You need hope to see a future
Without that there's only despair
That's the lesson you taught me
When you told me you didn't care
There was no tomorrow in your eyes
Only dead ashes from yesterday
There was no tomorrow in your eyes
My future's upped and flown away
Our journey's come to to dead end
I'm backed up against a concrete wall
Even now I'm hoping again...

Saddlesore
It seems only yesterday we were fine
How I yearned for the feel of your mouth
Your every touch would set me on fire
Whether north west east or south
The sight of smoke on the horizon
Haunts me now when I look back
For it was over yonder hill we flourished
Before my thoughts turned so black
That dark column taunts my tortured eyes
Acrid embers still fly off in ...

Sins Of The Fathers
In those eyes, tears do brim
All a-quiver are your lips
I've done wrong again
The latest of many slips
I rack my brains for reasons
Did I omit my morning kiss?
Or fail to hail your daily bloom?
What critical need did I miss?
As the baby's due next month
I'm watching my p's and q's
Skating on thin eggshells
Pandering to your mute clues
Then it dawn...

Blurry
Blurry
The world through a net curtain
Since the blood vessel burst in my eye
A Jackson Pollock of dark splatter
Swirling and whirling like oil on water
Swooping and looping like dragons
Drifting in ancient skies
One good eye doing the work of two
And suddenly you are vulnerable
Knowing that losing that one too
Would be blindness waiting to happen
So you ...

Floaters in the eye
Floaters - Poem by Marie
I have big dark floaters in my eyes interfering with my vision
the optician said its old age, from which there's no remission
I remember when I was twenty I could see for miles ahead
Now these eyes are not like mine, imposter's in my head
I sat there and I got through the eye tests only to be told
You need to wear bifocals. I picked some trendy glasses
Mak...

only poetry
only poetry
can explain my
coarsened hands made so unsteady
muffled heart beat - louder, heavy
trusting eyes fallen too quickly
flaring skin
an impish grin
only poetry
and you

Mid January
No one else can judge me
Only God who reads hearts
People have abused me
When I reach fake of the facts
If you believe you're the master
And you can judge and lead
Surely you lose the only factor
That keeps you faithful indeed
Leave me alone fair and simple
I have to forget tens of lies
You should break your false temple
Wake up please .. open your e...

Enchanting
The windows to soul lightening up..
The swim of laughter and the mischievous wink
The shine of innocence striking up
Stealing hearts with a single blink..
The connect is simply an unfathomable one
The cross-eyed look when she peers into the soul
Watching that funny face of my little one..
Parts of me are purloined, enchanting them into whole...

You're Welcome
You're Welcome
Lovely smiles at early morning,
Poetic voice says: “Hello”
Shiny eyes yearning look.
Asking happily “How are you?”
When did we met and where!
Few years ago, may be more
It was crowded party there
When she shines out of the door
We had a table, but no talk
Merrily smile, she looks shy
Asked timidly can we walk?
I shook hands, then walk...

Sad Eyes
Are you sure you want to know
the story behind my sad eyes?
Can you handle truth
buried in lies?
Abused, abandoned,
left for dead.
Still, I raise my
weary head.
Hoping against all odds
for love and a warm bed.

Beauty Song
Don't wear contact lenses
Your eyes are my Ocean
Let me feel your lovely senses
And see you my Queen.
Don't use makeup material
Just be same as you are
Rosy cheeks are really natural
looks for me as star.
Don't cut your shiny hair
I love it to become so long
Set free your hair to air
And let me enjoy the song.

Let him
It was a show
God was calling me
And I didnt know
Already Believing in faith
But wanted to walk it with somebody
But God placed everybody
To be a busy body
Leaving me to be with him
Showing me this was a spirtiual show
I had no idea
Just let him do
Open your eyes
And he will show you through
You will see the positive side of it
Seeing why he deverted every...

Fuck me eyes.
A look clear into a pretty girls eyes
clear hard water forced down your optic nerve
the abyss of beauty deep and cold looks back.
Like that mirror stare when an odd flicker calls you back for more.

Quietly sneaky

Thunderstorms
in my heart
Yet you left
me alone
unset and alone
You were the moon

why when i hear your
name i can't forget
the words on you mouth
those blue eyes staring
inro mine unashamed
I found new hope
untouched
buti can't shake you away
when i hear you name
and your sparky attitude
but i will keep on

Open Your Eyes
I had been feeling sad and lonely. I decided to go back into the past and visit my childhood home. When I arrived, my sister, mother, and brother were sitting at the kitchen table having a meal. I walked in and said, “Hello.” They welcomed me warmly and asked, “How have you been?”
In a short while my Father joined us and demanded to know, “Why are you here?” I was taken aback and said, “I’m lon...

Blue moon
Eyes open as it must be reality
The mind settles as the sun sets
Allowing creative thoughts to surface
Glowing blue
In the sky I see you
Blue moon
You Appear with no sadness
Beauty in the sky
black out curtains
surrounding the moon
Fluoresces light
Still pressing through
allowing me to dream
On this beautiful night
Big and blue

Have You Ever..?
Have you ever felt the joy of looking at the clear sky?
Lying down on the ground flat
Trying to measure its limitlessness
Have your ever felt the joy of looking at the drops of rain?
Falling down, making a puddle
Seeing a spectrum of colors form over the surface
Have you ever felt the joy of looking at the uncountable stars at night?
Capturing the exact moment when
You can see them t...

The Mirror
This rumination came from growing awareness of my mortality which, in turn, is generated and measured by the expanding list of things once given or assumed that, alas, are no longer possible.

How shall I talk to you, my friend?
How should I regard you
(and will I care)
as you grow ever older before my gaze
while I stay young?
Who are you? Dare I look on yo...

Passions of the Soul
Passions of the Soul
Like a lighthouse set on rocky shores
we gaze at the world within our sight
with scant regard for any cause;
indifferent as the mosquito's flight,
and chatter gaily over tea or beer
on friendship, crime, or the next career.
But I am ego: I stand alone,
a moral agent in time and tide.
With resolution I keep my own
counsel; hermit-like, my thou...

Raaz
by : Mirza Sharafat Hussain
Tere janey ke baad hawayein beyqaraar
Khushk aabshar , fizayein sogwaar
To suno meri udaas aankhon ka raaz
Kisi ki yadun me meri aahein girftaar
Ye itna parayapan achanak na guzrey
Tere paas aate hi bahein sharamsaar
Rotey kuch mei ne bhi mangha hai rab se
Pyase labu se meri duayein ashkbaar

hooves
a wild horse
which is free
free to go
to go everywhere
to run away
or to stay
in the eyes
your eyes
crossed mine
you are my rider
the person whom my heart
chose to not live without
I admire
you make it tame
my heart is not as wild as it was
I feel each step
the mud
the grass
the sand
the snow
through my hooves
the hard hooves
which were infrangible

Eyes
Instead of your eyes, I see only warmth,
I feel only heat from the heart that you hold.
Inside those great pools of a deep, liquid hearth,
My own eyes seek shelter from the cruel in the world.
Instead of your lips, I see only my future,
All the stories ready to spill from your mouth, they unravel.
There it holds the embers of a pink, raging fire,
There it holds me, hypnot...

Lost
Back in 1995 I seem to have been a whole lot angrier than I am today! And more lost. But there's certainly some energy here.
Lost
Lost when your eyes are too wide,
lost when the sky
shouts high notes
when it should be whispering;
lost when the fires die.
Lost when complete strangers
give you the finger and grin,
or when the beer and the noise stop
and y...

Those eyes never quite starring me down but only judging me worse.
Something or someone of within faith to rely on.
What is relying? Sounds more like lying over and over again.
You just wanted a better image.
Who dare tarnish your preusous beauty.

Eyes
you had knocked on my door that evening
with nature wrapped in plastic
you in your gorgeous suit
with your gorgeous eyes
but not the eyes that were mine
you spoke the words that your heart could only shout
and the pour of admiration coming out of your gorgeous eyes
was too much for me to take
(in my mirror I saw a stick
an odd shape, not one hint of sun;
in your mirror you saw heave...

blissfully shut
Never sure what to expect.
Never quite aware.
It has been eons and we are still here,
Like nothing ever happened.
With eyes blissfully shut,
We lie
And the ritual keeps on.
The soul shines on within,
Yet,
The flesh is wearing thin.
It's crumbling.
Where there is no love,
There mustn't be life.
But then,
What is this weird dream I am in?

REFLECTIONS OF A LIFE
Gaze into the mirror
at the face behind the mask
and wonder if it's really you,
or don’t you dare to ask?
Who can know what lies beyond
the mirrors fragile face,
reflections of another life;
another time or place?
Touch the chill upon the glass
and see a tiny ripple,
was it real or in your mind,
did it really feel so supple?
Gaze into empty eyes

HOPEFUL EYES
What sad weary eyes we have
that see, in all the world,
such poverty and pointless pain.
Would not the sunlight bathe upon it
if we simply look again?
For the eye of the beholder
may choose the depth of tint
we see, through a rose coloured lens.
A hint of fanciful forms,
as they filter the rays they sense.
From beneath the haze
of the shimmering sun,

My glasses
My glasses are part of me
They are simple and not flashy
I shall wear them with pride
They are fashionable and worldwide
Many colours and styles to choose
It is always nice to hear honest views
I don’t need them on when I am in bed
They come off as not glued to my head
I always feel lost without my glasses
Missing all those admiring glances
I like being able...

Promise Me
When my hands begin to tremble
You’ll place your hand in mine
When my eyes become hollow
That you’ll gaze into them
When I’m at a loss for words
You’ll kiss me so the silence
Can speak for the both of us.

Silent Truth
Silent truth
And a thousand eyes smile for those who know what love is.
Such a smile could never be traced over lips.
For lips they show emotion as gates to guarded words.
As barriers to the unspoken breath.
But the eyes, the eyes, the eyes, the eyes.
Are not indulged such a protection.
Shining silently like stars.
A light adorns their gentleness.
Contorti...

(‘Ask me why and I’ll spit in your eye’ - The Smiths)
Pinch the rogue flesh slipping from my jeans,
Dig each thumb and forefinger into my hand,
Scratch me with that caress and turn when I blush,
Let the fire wash over my face whilst pretending not to realise.
Leave me be even though our legs are intertwined,
Please leave me be even though our mouths talk and share,
Leave me be even thou...

Eyes in the Darkness
Through the window
a star less night,
only gloom and stillness.
A shadow
moves in
the hollow.
Across the clearing
a pair of red
flaming eyes!
They seem to

air. The
fear, the horror!
I close my
eyes afraid to
look. Afraid of
what I might see!

Beholder's Eyes
Take a look into my eyes,
And maybe we will find
that between you and me
It's the way that love should be.
She told me I had beautiful eyes
her heart said friends
and her mouth did too...
and my mind's confused now I'm not with you.
See I can be the best friend that I have been for years
or I can be the guy that can hold you near.
But I can't be this.

Eyes are green
Eyes are true
Eyes are mean
Eyes are bright

Eyes are black
Like the night

Eyes are angry

Eyes are kind
Eyes are blind
Eyes are evil
Eyes of devil
Eyes are hungry
Eyes of walls
Eyes are empty
Eyes of dolls
