My Eyes Poem by Tlholohelo Ramatlhape

I wonder what you see when you look into the depths of my eyes
Do you see the rainbow of emotions my eyes express, and the painful past that hides within?
Do you see the doubts that conceal themselves behind the curtains of my eyes, and the disappointments that have darkened my perception of the world?

When you look into the depths of my eyes
Can you see the dark clouds hovering over my peace, threatening to dissolve it in the blink of an eye?
Do you see my deepest secrets and the skeletons that hide in my past, and the uncertainty that lurks behind the mask on my face

Can you see the fear that stands in my way?
Do my eyes reveal my hope for better days?
Is there is a sign in my eyes of the love I yearn to possess?
Is my optimism evident in the brightness of my eyes?

I wonder what you see when you look into the depths of my eyes.
