(written for an artist)
I've seen those eyes before
pain filled with salty tears
years of compromise just to find contentment
...You smile silently
balling pupils like they have smoke room redness
these can't be healed by Visine
They lost the peripheral clarity to see love
and without love
you became a vampire
because you keep yourself restricted to good life
in low light
that the good life light of the Lords light
might seem a little dark in your eyes
but you love this man
this man of a higher hand of all hands
the higher hand is of that of a higher man
so those eyes go back to crying for a real reason
a surrendering reason
that make crying a happy feeling
I shared your eyes
even though I didn't share with you your cries
but God is our Johnson & Johnson line
that "there will be no more tears in your eyes."
EYES CRY

I enjoyed the spirituality and heart of this poem. Beautifully done.
