Eyes

It has been said that the eyes are a mirror to the soul
One can read inner thoughts by merely looking deep into the eyes
They speak, they smile, they cry, they punish, they flirt, they transform
They truly reflect what you feel inside and they have their stories to tell

Your world of emotion truly reflects and illuminates your face
Your eyes directs and transforms the various forms that you take
Your happiness or sadness is fairly obvious to the world at large
As is being wonderstruck and lost or projecting a reality that is fake

Your eyes may be well spaced or they may be close set
Your eyes may be droopy or they may be a wee bit small
Your eyes may be deep set, wide set or a variation of round
You may like to apply a shade of liner to accentuate your look

Some say eyes are an ocean where dreams dissolve and play
Others say that beauty once captured never loses their sight
The eyes speak a language that connects with the heart
The road from eye to heart does not necessarily marry intellect

A beautiful eye makes silence so eloquent
A kind eye makes contradiction an assent
An enraged eye makes beauty deformed
It is the eye that truly gives life to every other part


Some say that eyes see a thing more clearly in dreams than awake
Others say that eyes see only what the mind is prepared to comprehend
One never knows how they look through other people’s eyes
It is an eternal debate that one faces, who to believe people or their own eyes?

Some say that eye of the master will do more work than both his hands
One who has a daring eye has the courage to tell and face downright truth and lies
If one were blind one may not have desired many so-called finer pursuits of life
It is the evil eyes of other people that many a time bring about eventual ruin

Eyes once open can dream and make pictures even when they are shut
Many a wise men have said it is better to trust ears less when compared to the eyes
A lover’s eyes can leave behind an eagle blind with his gaze
What the eyes do not appreciate or admire the heart does not desire

It is better to look for person’s intentions by looking them right in the eyes
One’s tongue may eventually fall silent, but the eyes continues to speak
It is the window where moods and thoughts fly unwittingly back and forth
The light of the body is the eye and where there is wisdom principles hold fort!

"It is better to look for person’s intentions by looking them right in the eyes" ---- Ain't that the truth? The truth or the devil lies in the eyes. I do not want to generalize but a person's eyes in essence is a reflection of his/her true character.

Yes. That's what I said! But, there are people and you would have observed (actions notwithstanding) who may not be comfortable speaking and looking at you in the eye.

In fact, I know for a fact, that in our previous generations , many elders used to find it an affront if youngsters/in some cases the opposite gender (read - feminine gender - sad, but true) used to speak directly looking eye to eye. You would also have encountered some cliche dialogues in soaps/movies!

Hence, the suggestion to those who have been less comfortable to get out of their comfort zone!
