Eyes brimming dreams
Like mine long ago
Smiley with happiness so blind
High in hopes for an ambivalent future
.
Eyes so beaming it shadows diamond
Ignorant to its suffering
Full of loving pearls
Eyes, I once possessed
.
Eyes round like sweet chestnuts
Elated for the little it retains
In a continent of paucity
Eyes gleaming in the consuming pain.
