Poem - Eyes are a Doorway
eyes are a doorway,
they said.
what did you see?
did you see beyond
the natural brown
and the unnatural kohl
they say they’re where my demons hide
but also
through what my heart smiles
they say they confine a beautiful chaos
but also
the unsaid simple truth
do they hold
what you fear I am?
or
what your soul thirsts for?
can you hear the voices
of the storms in my eyes?
or can you hear
the melody of mischief
and chirpy delight?
mirror mirror on the ceiling
what did you see?
