Darkling Eyes Poem by Valerie Dohren
Darkling Eyes
What moves behind those darkling eyes
What memories concealed -
What shadows drift within their gaze
What visions unrevealed
If I could reach into your mind
All hidden thoughts to know
What phantoms would I find therein
What dreams would inside flow
For as I look upon those eyes
I see a secret world
A world that you alone shall keep
To never be unfurled
The stories that you hold within
Are yours forevermore
To carry with you through all time
Within your mem'ry store
So when I see a wistful smile
Or catch a teardrop fall
I know that you're remembering
All that you would recall
Perhaps a mother's gentle kiss
Perhaps her warm embrace
Or maybe it's a sadder song
Reflected on your face
If only you would beckon me
Behind those darkling eyes
That I might join my soul with yours
Before the sunlight dies
No one knows what is hidden behind those eyes, sometimes, we can only live in hope but may never see the reality. Emotionally filled.....keep it up!
Very nice to read and I'm sure behind those darkling eyes I'm sure you would find an over flow of love for you...captivating poem...regards
Face is index of the mind for one who can capture it. You captured all the moods beautifully. Thank you.
Those darkling eyes says everything, with the flow of the evermore emotions. lovely thought, good write.
A wonderfully written and beautiful poem Valerie. What more is there to say that hasn't been said already. Thank you so much.
Love it! ! ! ! ! ! The best thing about taking a break from this board, is coming back and finding new and wonderful works.
I agree Val, with most of the comments below. This is a wonderful poem. For many, the words do not come out anymore, but thoughts shine through their eyes. You state it so beautifully, our feelings appear on our face. Even if we cannot share the stories, the memories, they are still so much alive. I am so sure that the person feels it very much if someone notices his or her inside stories and it makes them truly happy. The person noticing must a person with the warmest of empathy herself. I love this poem.
A lovely poem, enjoying it's rhythm throughout, yes eyes are the index of the mind and person. Behind those darkling eyes you are imagining the sweet or eventual memories.
I like your style of writing on this poem. It grabs the attenti0on of the reader.
