Those Eyes… The Dreams

a poem by Adurthi Sushana

It cannot be seen,
As we try to hide it!
It only gets mean.
It burns to the bone,
Right down to the soul,
Nothing else matters…
It becomes your main goal!
As you stare at each other,
You try not to show,
How much you want them!
No one must know…
But the feeling gets stronger,
Each time you meet,
You cannot fight the feeling,
Its only defeat!
Those eyes…
They are like pools of coloured light.
The colour of dusk just before nightfall.
Twilight eyes.
They radiate love and kindness.
They show compassion for your fright.
You feel them watching you.
You see them in your dreams.
When everything seems hopeless,
Those eyes give you courage.
They love you more than life,
And share in your strife.
The colour of dusk just before nightfall.
Sometimes I sit alone and wonder.
Where are those eyes now?
Except only in my dreams?
