In these eyes
You’ll see brown, and green.
Sometimes tears
Sometimes joy
Sometimes the crust left over from sleep
Sometimes bits of makeup, that I didn’t quite wash off
Sometimes you will see my mother
my father
My love for The Boy
Sometimes you will see pain
Sometimes, you will wonder if there is anything going on behind them, at all.
Sometimes you will wonder all of the things they hide
and what they show.
Because Niobe asked.

Also, really pretty words.

Your eyes are gorgeous, yes, but those EYEBROWS?! Damn, girl. I covet.

I see superbly sculpted eyebrows.
I see now that maggie also mentioned then, so I feel I’m being redundant.
But . . . DAMN! Can you take me to your pro next time . . . ?

Yes, the eyebrows almost make me want to got out and find a groomer. You’re so lovely.

Visiting from Niobe’s post. Your eyes are perfect, like they came out of an advertisement. I post my color here: http://raspberrychip.blogspot.com/2009/02/eyes.html
February 24th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
Pretty.
And those eyebrows should be in a museum. If there were museums for such things. Are there?
February 24th, 2009 at 11:39 pm
Fantastic poem, eyes, brows and lashes!
February 25th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
MAN….Gypsy took my comment! I was going to ask for the name and number of your eyebrow lady…I might need to make a trip just to get some help!
Your eyes are lovely! (Except for the crust part….EWWWW!)
February 26th, 2009 at 12:03 pm
Nicely done!
And I love the color of your eyes – they’re like a landscape with all the colors I can see in them!

If the eyes ARE the window to the soul, you are LOVELY inside and out.

Oh my. What beautiful eyes you have, my dear.
February 27th, 2009 at 10:10 pm
I was actually just looking at that photo of you–uncropped, on your other page–and thinking how stunning you, and your eyes, are.
Mine are bloodshot more than I’d like.
March 10th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
I want to LICK ‘em.
I WANT TO LICK ‘EM, SISTER!!!
LLLUUUUPPPTHTHTH!!!
I know that’s gross. I don’t mean it. I just want to gently kiss your gorgeous eyes… closed, of course. But still… I want to gently kiss them, like the long lost brother to you that I am.
