Eyes

A poem about pushing past trust issues, and loving anyway.

through your dark glassy glaze

I see your tears standing in my way

and even when they are closed

I still see deep down in your soul

it’s the gateway to your heart

so your eyes are where I start

and when my kiss is perfectly framed

you win my heart, yet I'm to blame

so in your eyes, there lays a smile

no need for lips when you’ve got mine

...

Another poem from my past notes. This one is from December 5th, 1998. I have always loved the stories of mythology that reference eyes. For example, “the eyes are the gateway to the soul”. There is something special about how God created us and our eyes. They speak without speaking.

The image I picked is one I took one evening when I was kayaking. The sun was setting and looked amazing through sunglasses. Sometimes we need to dim the distractions of shiny things in our lives to see things with a toned-down view.

I find myself getting wrapped up in the shiny things a lot, and then I have to pull myself back in and remind myself what is important.

Author Note: Thanks for reading. My writing & photography are part of my healing process.
