Iris
i never liked eyes -
too alive
with hidden meaning
i couldn't fathom
and yet - you
your eyes blazed
and i could dare to look into them
as i spoke
and you listened -
your eyes, i could have sworn, told me everything.
What the Poet Says
My inspiration behind this poem was, while it is socially acceptable to look a person in the eyes when you are speaking to them, I have always been wary of doing so for the reason that they contain too much unreadable meaning in them.
