Did you ever take time to look into my eyes?
There where I tuck away a universe in orbs' disguise.
The why's of ties, the tears of cries, the fountains
whence those dreams arise ...
from sands of the Sahara.
Look careful, see what I despise. See sad goodbyes;
some wise advice; wordless replies.
Yes, simply look into my eyes
and find my hidden love's
surprise ...
and that dot of black mascara.

tears' are but stories of many- sad, happy and some longing for those yet
to be fulfilled and that is where poetry comes in....

a good piece that spins language into another realm with fine grace and ease, ah yes, in the eys we find sighs, lovely luscious soft pleasant sighs where the wise find love and fly.
*popcorn sandwich* --- eh!

This is such a wonderful piece, Myra. You are so pretty, too.
I really like the wording you have here, such as orbs. The rhyme scheme that you have here is brilliant, too! Thanks so much for sharing, dear.
Good luck in the contest. Best wishes to you!
