his eyes

my eyes,
he said,
i like to make them sparkle

...............for they are a window
...............a window to my soul

my eyes,
he said,
do all the smiling

...............though he looks at me
...............and does not smile

his eyes,
i know,
they are merely wild
and do not sparkle

...............do not sparkle like a year old child

his eyes,
i know,
they never smile

...............never smile and never laugh
...............like the days of youth

his eyes,

...............aye,

.......they are a window
..............................a window to his soul

but it is old

...............and sad

.......................and blind

nice allegory kinda thing. just that i thought 'blind' being the last word didnt really catch the essence of the whole thing.

but it like. reeks of ur style. haha. ok fine not reeks. uh. something positive. exudes. doesnt sound as fun but it'll do =).
