There are eyes that look into your soul
drilling into your heart an open pit
never to be filled.

There are eyes that sparkle with each laugh
filling that open pit with happiness
never to be ended.

There are eyes that shoot forth a fiery stare
trying to burn out the happiness
never to be replaced.

There are eyes that show such deep sadness
revealing the hurt from the anger
never to be forgotten.

Well, Unci, your clear vision here has penetrated the happy fulfillment and the sad disillusionment of love. Nice job! G

Hey Unci, this is ia cool poem but as a suggestion, what if in the first stanza you changed "open pit," which really sounds very harsh and casts gloom on your verse, with something more calming like "opening" or "openness"? G.

Thanks to everyone for the positive comments!

GY your suggestion does take away the harshness from that stanza which needs to be more serene. Thanks!

1stsara,

I wrote "eyes" to help express the heartache that I experienced when my husband of 37 years left me for another woman. I just read about your pain. I will tell you to stay positive, take steps forward, and give yourself time to heal before getting into another serious relationship. My yoga practice was a great help to me. Take Care. Unci
