Eye are used for more than just seeing.

They hold the emotion stored inside a being.

Though not many people can see what they hold.

I didn't used to, but now this power is starting to unfold.

When I look into somene's eyes,

I can see striaght through their disguise.

I can sense what emotion is racing through their head.

I can see into thier past, and almost what lies ahead.

I can tell if they are hurting, or if they arein pain.

I can sense confusion, anger and shame.

It all lies there, just behind a person's eyes.

And I've learned that each person brings on a new surprise.

Emotions are always engulfing me,

Blinding me so I can't see.

I sometimes wonder if everyone else can do the same,

And if I'm merely just a player in this game.

Or maybe there's something from this that I can earn,

And if everyone else still has something to learn.

I can't figure things out from eyes...but...I'm very good at watching behaviors, movements, and every other little thing that people do....and I pick up emotions pretty eaisily...anyhow...It was a wonderful poem.

a great poem here. love the structure and rhyming couplets. Also I so much agree with what you r saying. Im actually writing a poem at the moment of the picture poem thing on here, but its called when I look into the weather of your eyes, and though different in style, its using that metaphor as a way of saying “hey I know what your are going through, I understand your pain, and happy moments too.”
Looking into someone’s eye’s is almost like looking into their soul. It’s like a window into their deeper self. I think we all have something still to learn, especially when dealing with other people, and their emotions. It shows what an emotion person u r. U always put so much of yourself into u’r poems. A lovely, beautifully written piece.!!
