my first piece of slam poetry. |
Open your eyes See me Like I see you Cuz even if you don't See me I do see you You close your eyes bat your lashes Are you afraid to see a world of ashes? Release your worries Abandon fears Forget your sorrows dry your tears! We can face the world hand in hand Cuz it's your eyes that will captivate the land The darkest blue of the deepest sea That's the story your eyes tell me A summer's day and The end of rain Are shown to me in a lighter strain What joy there'd be if you would show your eyes for all the world to know Or a simpler joy for only me, to stare into those eyes of thee. Their hazy green convey a feel of gracious plains under clouds that wheel And when the stars shine in the night Before your eyes, they're not as bright Yet still you hide them full of fright Let go of dark Embrace the light Open your eyes Trust in your senses Stop hiding your feelings behind cold defenses Why should you be so ashamed to show emotion so untamed? It's your eyes that dominate the mind and the souls of those in a world unkind Cuz there's strength in those eyes that gleam with flecks of bronze, or so it seems Perhaps it's gold in another part They say the eyes can show the heart But digressions only go so far It's time I talked of things that are Vivid colors 'round two black pearls Those eyes of yours could change the world All this is why I feel dutiful to tell you that Your eyes are... I don't even have to say it |
