Each face says a story,
Each passing glance, a life time,
Moulded by circumstances,
Weathered by the incessant tides.
Eyes tempered to deep tolerance,
By the fires or emotional turmoil.
Eyes sparkling with mischief,
Darting back and forth with delight.
Each face says a story,
Downcast with despair,
Worried about unknown circumstances,
Or gleaming with divine Ecstasy.
Fine lines and deep furrows sculpted,
By joy and sorrow in turn.
Hair combed to perfection,
Or bleached white by time.
Each face says a story,
Each color, each line an emotion.
Never was I more crowded,
Nor neither so alone.

Each word has a story
Just like the poem of thee
Each letters has something to say
That they are there because of thee
Each silence has some very in it
It's verily very very words of thee

Hurray! Your muse has come to life once again. Your imagery is boundless. Beautifully described, I mean it could not have been better than this. Well, I need to improve my vocabulary and use those awesome words (like you have) because they made the poem very captivating. The poem has an enchanting effect. I applaud you for the way you have expressed yourself. Its a pleasure going through this piece. In one word its just PERFECT. I can't figure out which line I like the most coz every line is...

Bravo!
A fine introspective poem! Bravo! -
I love the Puritan capitalization of "Ecstasy." Very well done, and it does tell a story. If I wrote a poem for the title, I would have written a stanza each about random people, like a chocolate shop of owner in France and a village fisherman in India, and a corporate exec in America, and then ended it with me. Just a very random thought. well done as usual.

Thanx I'm flattered.
female form for yaar...mm.. hear, where I come from.. we say "machi" ( i as in how u say chilli)
-
Ahhh... good
What is the feminine counter word for "yaar?" Or "sister" in your language or dialect?
I have bookmarked this. I like it very much, but I want to read it again after I finally get caught up with some more sleep.
-
Really nice. Truely enjoyable.
All well wishes.

Very good with rich vocabulary and highly insightful, another very well done piece from the keyboard of Chithu.

Chithu, This is one of the best poem of yours I've read so far... wow wow and WOW... Its beautifully worded... I absolutely agree with you that one can read ones feelings from their eyes... eyes can covey anger, innocence, mischief and so much more... and they can relay in any language... i can't even pinpoint what i like best. it has a unified powerful effect... very good write, keep it up...

Oh my, Adorable this is so clever it weaves in and out of ones mind, tightening it's grip with each stitch. Thank you.

Excellent!!!
Chithu, as usual you have sculpted a wonderful poem with your words flwoing smoothly and your thoughts wise. The last two lines took me by surprise, wow, what a way to finish!!!
If eyes are the window to our soul, face tells the story of our life all that has happened and all that we have enjoyed/endured. Simply wonderful.
Love and blessings from Coimbatore - Joel -
