Bright eyes staring in wonder up to the skies,
is beautiful little baby boy bright eyes.
Experiments of sight, of touch and speech,
beautiful eyes so bright there's a diamond in each.
Bright eyes peer up to meet the gaze of another
Beautiful bright eyed baby boy is watching his mother.
Baby so innocent, untouched by life
beautiful bright eyes untouched by pain, hurt or strife.
Baby bright eyes gets older and learns of despair
a young man living life, in a world he just can't bare.
Beautiful eyed boy, tortured, taken by surprise
so that he didn't want to live, the poor young man with bright blue eyes.
Beautiful eyed young man, stripped of innocence, hurt, abused,
hears voices in his head, sits in a corner, rocking, bemused.
Beautiful eyed young man, finds it hard to sleep
no control over who he becomes, when he's alone he starts to weep.
Beautiful eyed young man, hides behind a wall,
pretends to have his bright eyed hope, tries to fool them all.
Beautiful eyed young man, lost his angels to the sky,
they're watching over him, he cant cope without them, but he has to try.
Beautiful eyed young man, I look deep into his soul,
I see sadness sorrow and painful memories, he's desperate for control.
Beautiful eyes young man, his eyes not nearly so bright,
I love to see him happy, so he'll sleep all through the night.
Beautiful eyed young man, often thinks noone will care,
but he should know that we all love him.. and that I'll always be there.

Oh wow! This was so sad, but so full of love and hope at the same time. This brought a tear to my eye.
"Beautiful eyed young man, hides behind a wall,

Those lines were probably my favorite because they remind me so much of me... except for the man part. lol. Anyways. You did a really great job writing this poem. Thanks for sharing it and giving me the chance to read it. Keep up the awesome writing!

This is sweet, but sad and tragic, the first few verses reminded me of my little baby nephew looking up into my brother's girlfriends eyes, that was a nice picture. But futher on into the poem I got a different one, a sad one. It's nice that you write about people special to you. xXx.

concise and melancholy but it would seem hopeful which is the only way to deal with such a situation. Good work
