Those Eyes

Those Eyes

Men have different ways to judge a lady;
most change; as we grow older;
some, that we would consider quite shady;
stare; and grow much bolder.

I see gorgeous eyes shining; a beautiful face;
attracting much more than a glance;
her every move; a masterpiece of grace;
I

What All Others See

What All Others See

Do I see that which others see;
or, from truth, did I abscond;
how do others look upon me;
am I seen in a great beyond?

Am I a stick figure, talking;
how does their sight begin;
perhaps, a dead man, walking;
just how do I

The Essence Of Consciousness

The Essence Of Consciousness

Consciousness is reality, which all believe;
I think; therefore, I am:

Emotionally, I’ve been to the mountaintop;

Dark Is The Night

Dark Is The Night

a metaphor with a much deeper meaning;
giving us hints of all
