The Eyes

Now this one is a poem which I recently scribbled down while sitting in the class (;-)..nothing much to it, open to all sorts of interpretations!!

The eyes that have but tons to speak,
the eyes that spend the nights unsleep;
the eyes that talk and make you stop,
the eyes that cry when moments try;
the eyes that love, the eyes that hate,
the eyes that trust, the eyes that gape;
the eyes that are the doors of heart,
that spill all and make apart;
what lies beneath deep down inside,
the feelings unsaid, the broken lies;
the love, the pain,
the loss, the gain;
at times when words can't say it out,
it is the eyes that make aloud;
the feelings that need a form to be,
a moment of expression, to understand thee;

But now I close these eyes to you,
never again would they be true;
never again will you hear them speak,
what's left unsaid, what lies beneath!!

what lies beneath.....it is the eyes that make aloud

slightly contradicting in ur case isnt it? goes against ur last para cos ur eyes are such that theres always a wall.. u can never tell wat ur feeling wen one looks at ur eyes.. theyre closed to the world, no feelings ever reaching them... or maybe it explains why theyre that way...

but all in all lovely poem.. i can well relate.. very nicely written :)

What you refuse to voice,
your eyes shall say,
of thoughts supressed
in your minds fray
