On some days
Eyes two pairs
They stare
Gaze
Look
Whisper
Talk
Eyes two pairs
Laugh
Shout
Increase
Decrease
Volume
Life’s buttons are
Wobbly
Unsteady
Trying to find
The right frequency
To be happy.
Eyes two pairs
Struggle
Effort runs in the miles
Of a solitary action to
Close one eye
Discard and walk away
From life’s blinding light.
Eyes two pairs
Both refuse to shut
Both are tough nuts
To crack.
The light intrudes on teary mascara laden
Eyelids
Tear
Tear
Tear
Human tears
Of a second’s happiness
Supersedes a lifetime of
Pain.
I love you.
Did I tell you?
Eyes two pairs
Shine.
