MYSTIQUE EYES

	By Karine Ovsepian


	Eyes? so unprompted, so carelessly vagabond,
	Could they be the worst imprisonment of a heart?
	Could they be the wondrous glory of each and every start?

	Eyes? so ridiculously forged with fiercest thoughts,
	Dreadfully proud of miseries captivated within a breeze,
	Their random dance seems a weaponless tease.

	Eyes? embattled obnoxiousness of past hopes and dreams,
	Beyond reported facts and diffused believes,
	Embedded freckle of inseparable clothed nightly thieves.

	Eyes? crested with trivial dust of thousand shadows,
	Gloomy with incorporated visual beam of mirrors within a soul,
	One scattered glance, one pointed inward, and we?re whole.

	Eyes? I kiss your miseries of life and each captivated sigh,
	I thank the spectacular privileged picturesque with or without motif,
	For you?ve given me life?s most adorable joys and grief.
