O beloved , the eyes tell a story

they give away the secrets and lies

that have been told

the honey glazed orbs swirl like the ocean

within them

lie all the secrets

someday they seem soulless and still like the ocean

but at days they shine the brightest

then the star itself

but O beloved

your eyes hold secret

the depth of your orbs

just as deep as the ocean

some-days with a glint of sadness in them

and at times i see nothing

it is not that i see nothing

but you refuse to let me know

your secrets

your darkness

your nightmares

that the honey glazed orbs know
