IN YOUR EYES



In your eyes I see
the secret that lies,
behind the bold face
the side that cries.

I see a world
totally different,
the one built with care
and totally magnificent.

In your eyes I see
a stubborn kid,
who just wants to be appreciated
for everything he did.

I see a fierce
yet cold flame,
in those eyes
that never felt the same.

But now it's saw, not see
as we are miles apart,
and in your eyes i saw
a hidden yet a very beautiful part.

    This is poetic. The eyes as revelation of the truth.
    Your lines have much poetry and the rhyme-scheme is carried out with success.
    In the whole, a good poem
