Eye To Eye Contact - Acrostic Sonnet Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

EYE TO EYE CONTACT

Eye contact is important. Probing mind
Yearns to discern Life’s signals, to decode
Enigmas of existence on the road
To understanding, ever needs to find
Out whys and wherefores which define mankind.
Escape routes tempt behind cocooned abode,
Yet each strives to survive life’s whip and goad,
Each blueprint building block holds undefined
Creative energy, by Time designed,
Or by some ‘hand of fate’, till overload
Neutralizes circuits, fuses blowed
To atoms iridescent. Spurn purblind,
Allow eyes wise ways linking parts to whole,
Connect Through windows to translate true soul.

Eye to Eye Contact

Eye contact is important, for the mind
Yearns to discern Life’s signals, to decode
Enigmas of existence on the road
To understanding, ever needs to find
Out whys and wherefores which define mankind.
Escape routes open from cocooned abode.
Yet each must strive, survive life’s whip and goad,
Each blueprint is, whose future’s undefined,
Creative energy by Time designed,
Or by some ‘hand of fate’ - till overload
Neutralizes circuits, fuses blowed
To atoms iridescent. If inclined,
An eye may open windows on the soul,
Can, Though imperfect, twin parts into whole.
