The Eyes are an Ocean

The eyes are an ocean

Whose depths plunge 

Leagues into the soul

If honest they will tell 

All that needs to be told

All the currents of emotion 

The waves of knowledge 

Contained within 

Are warm moving streams

Fluidity to living dreams

They are like dolphins breaching

Inhaling joy while breathing

If the light refected from its depths

Is rooted in lies

Then all those eyes speak 

Is to be despised

They are like sharks hunting

Fulfilling appetite their only meaning

If those eyes change 

From the churning waters within 

Those eyes are caught

In the subtlety of sin

Not discerning 

Where joy ends and appetite  begins 

The mystery of eyes

Is the mystery of the depths

Where there is life 

That generates its own light

Frightening to see because 

It is alien to the surface

The deeper you search eyes

The more you perceive purpose

So look to the eyes

And you will see more 

Than a school of blind fish

You will find a human being

And fathom eyes 

Made for speaking

Not simply seeing what you wish
