Each and every new day that dawns my fascination grows
With the mystical magic of our windows to the soul
These miracles of vision bestowed so graciously upon us
Never ending is my astonishment in what their beauty shows
They exist in a myriad of colors, with which to view the world
An inner beauty can be revealed and endless stories will be told
As if looked upon and reflected from unblemished mirrored glass
A treasure trove of heavy truths and secrets visually unfurled
Upon closer contemplation boundless knowledge can be gained
I cast my gaze upon the all telling orbs and examine close
As everything held behind them unfolds so entirely before me
Every fact and falsity instantly and unquestionably unchained
Anger can never be hidden and inner peace shines ever so bright
Honesty will be rewarded as surely as a liars eyes betray them
Fatigue is cast aglow in red as alertness gleams in dazzling purity
Hatred glows in fires dance as love will shine in brilliant white
Open wide to reveal a boundless universe brimming with mystery
As rivers flow to portray our sadness and a heartache unrelenting
True happiness and joy burn with the brightness of a furious sun
Future can be glimpsed fleetingly in the images of age old history
Now as I focus my concentration to the infinite abyss of your eyes
I look upon this endless ocean of the most fragile vulnerabilities
Combined with strengths beyond imagination yet un-harvested
So easily visible in the reflections as far reaching as eternal skies.
A radiance right before me, I behold the look of crystal clarity
Any attempts to conceal their perfection are sheer impossibility
My contemplations of both absolute truth and flawless beauty
Convinces me completely such exquisite depth is ever a rarity.
Exquisite, one of the most beautiful poems I ever had the pleasure of reading. Wow.
Okay, well that is one of the most stunning and flattering comments I have received. I am so very glad the emotions came across. And worthy of a re-blog in your opinion? I am endlessly humbled and thankful to you. Have a perfect New Year, and stellar 2014.
My pleasure. I’m a fan of yours now. Thank you for sharing your work. Happy New Years!
As I am and have been a fan of yours. Be well and Keep Inspiring
Yes Sir. Thank you.
Everything about this is perfect, great job.
Wow Richard. Thank you. Such high praise from such a gifted writer. I am truly appreciative of the fact that you enjoy my work.
I do. I don’t always comment because, believe it or not, I get stuck for words, but I had to on that one.
Beautiful. You never cease to amaze. xo
Thank you Phoebe. Your kind comments and impressive talents make me glad to call you friend. Happy New Year. May 2014 be rich with all that you desire.
As always, your perfection was well worth waiting for. Exquisite portrayal of what our eyes reveal and what we hope to find. Even though I do think this poem gives hint of a secret you have that your eyes will not spill??? Thank you for another excellent piece that I will be revisiting for a long time to come. And please, stop setting the bar so DAMNED high!! Remember, some of us are not perfectionists — we’re emotionalists!!! 😉
True and raw emotion is where perfection is born my friend
That may be where it’s born, but perhaps I would do better to let it stew a while before I just spew it all out on paper!!!
See……and I wish to have the words spill forth so beautifully, fluidly, and prolifically as you my dear. The grass truly is greener on the other side of the fence. So you know what that means? Yep, it is time to remove the fence. LOL. Write together that is.
I honestly don’t think we’ve ever had a fence between us!! But I do agree it is time to put our words together. 😉

Such insight. So beautifully portrayed.
Missing you, friend.
Just saw this. and Awwwwww. Me too. Just got the weirdest, creepiest, funniest response to bloody mary btw. lol
Have you not approved it because I don’t see it?
No because it was what it was I spammed it. Somebody apparently vehemently does not believe in Bloody Mary. To the point of rage it seems. Not at me but her. And even goes on to literally cuss her out!!! So if she doesn’t exist? Who ya cussing at? and Lighten up BTW. LOL. Someone went off their meds.
It made me laugh but now I just feel sad for this person.
I imagine they wrote it thinking they were being funny. Maybe? Hopefully?
I am thinking not. Hoping so but thinking not. It was kind of a delusional rant now that I think about it.
Then stop thinking about and read my last post. That will help you forget about delusional rants …. or not. 😉
Hmmmmm…… Why are some posts showing in my Reader and not others. Hmmmmm……….
Do you have an x-rated filter on your reader? 😉
It is not just adult content, Sometimes if there are many posts from one site in close proximity they stagger out maybe? Not the first time this has happened. Missed some primo stuff almost
Are you saying I am being a bit “too” prolific? 😉
If only I could be so prolific and consistently good
You are consistently amazing and awe-inspiring. I have the benefit of not working — so being prolific keeps me out of trouble.
So powerful and poignant!
Thank you. This was a fun and as much as it is about ‘others’ eyes, it was also a very introspective piece as well.
One of my favorites.
Thanks Hasty. I have always been drawn in by the beauty and mystery of a woman’s eyes. And I could gaze a lifetime into your baby blues. Hope that’s not over stepping. Just sayin is all……………..Take care and Keep Inspiring
