Irish Smiling Eyes

Irish Smiling Eyes

Deep millponds of self-criticism and undiluted love
Razor Blades that cut through the tendons of sensation
Protected and hidden by time and mind
Deep intense scars run between the shoulders

Nothing is revealed in words……All behind delighted eyes

Fatally wounded together in time and place
Love for lost soul mates and all humankind
Something is mine and mine only to share
Secretly tucked away in my heart

Nothing is revealed in words…..All behind secret eyes

Curling lips wave gently into a pleasurable smile
Positive body shape piloting towards intimacy
Searching eyes see my ruptured ligaments
Sensations sting muscles once severed

Nothing is revealed in words………As my smiling eyes.. see

I enjoyed reading your poem -----and the saying do not judge a book by covers came to mind.

We all do it cover it up with smiles good one

Thank you for comment and yes, it's all about judging a book. In the words I tried to convey, it is possibly to find a soulmate who sees the distress thru your eyes and can truly ''see'' you.

This is good, says a lot about you which of course it would.
As in painting we artists paint ourselves in every portrait or sculpture and so it is with words.
