Through the Eyes

On July 6, 2015July 19, 2015 By Baydreamer - Lauren ScottIn Poetry

With paled eyelids
no tears confined
where love once was
is no longer blind
but clear and coarse
it pierces the heart
resembling a war
of two worlds apart

Doesn’t that describe relationships and the world in general today. Well said!

  Thanks so much for your insightful comment, Ian. After I read it I realized there could be many interpretations than the one I meant it for…that’s the interesting fact about poetry.

  Thanks, Chris. It’s too bad sadness even exists but it’s nice that beauty can be seen through the darkness…♥ xo

  But I guess if it didn’t exist we wouldn’t know joy 😊❤️

I guess sometimes it’s better to see clearly.
