Gentle Eyes

GREGORY F.P CROMWELL

My you have gentle eyes
or is it a disguise for the element of surprise
eyes are windows to the soul like the sense of touch is to
something cold.
I’ve been told that I have gentle eyes.
Eyes that have seen the “Heavens”
Why do eyes change their look once overcome with emotions.
I’ve been told my eyes are wise
as if I have lived for ages
I’ve been told my eyes are cold
holding secrets like ice ages
I’ve been told my eyes are watchful
Told I’m over protective
I’ve been told my eyes are strong
Seen tragedies, never forget them
I’ve been told I have eyes of rage
So red they look as if they were bleeding
When ever you look in some one’s eyes
REMEMBER
Eyes can be deceiving.
