the most soulful eyes
piercing, deep, endless
I search in them for answers
not too long, though
forced to look away
for fear of what I may find
soulful eyes
even more so when they are sleeping
lashes that flutter like silk drapes
showing a glimpse of what lies beyond
a hint of a world without limits
enticing me to see further
soulful eyes
that smile pure joy, without any movement
and cry a sadness, without any tears
quiet, calming
enveloping me like a blanket
my heartbeat begins to slow
matching the gentle rythym of each blink
