When I Look In Your Eyes - Short Poem

When I look in your eyes,

I want to see your soul,

I want to know you more,

I regain my energy,

And I forget my worry,


Source: Image

When I look in your eyes,

I see an ocean full of treasures,

I forget the worldly pleasures,

I want to jump in but I'm afraid,

I see high waves coming at me like a raid,


Source: Image

When I look in your eyes,

I see my own reflection,

Neither that of my face nor my outer perception,

I see my flaws I need to fix my core,

Don't close your eyes I want to look some more.

You're very welcome my friend... I love your micro stories and can't wait to read the next one :)

I like this poem. I think it speaks a message I have been working with about perception. If it wasn't for friends and close people I would not be able to perceive who I am only with my own eyes.

Very true my friend. We see ourselves in a much different way when we look through the eyes of others, especially close and loved ones. I'm glad you like my poem. :)

You chose great pictures to accompany your poem. I seem to have a thing for blue right now. Nice poem.

Thank you my friend. I love to express myself in words. They are a great vehicle for self reflection.

That is why I love to do my freewrites. I can let my imagination run wild.

Love that closing line, 'Don't close your eyes I want to look some more.' Eyes really are the window into the soul :) Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome @mikethoughts ... :) Nice to know you buddy.

Likewise! :)

Wow this is such a lovely poem.

Thank you @naima94. I've seen your profile and I noticed you mentioned in your tagline that you're a Sufi. I'm glad to know that since I'm a Sufi too :)

Haha. Thanks for visiting. Yup i think sufi is the final answers to the major questions we seek. The sooner one finds it the better. Saves the trouble of taking sides or not. ;)
I love Koniya btw. Ever been there? And have you read 40 rules of Shams?

Yes, I've been to Koniya and visited Rumi's grave there... Amazing place. I'm following the Qaaderiy Treeqah. It made such a magnificent difference in my life.

Wow. Well i am not technically into it..as in not yet good enough a Very basic learner. Its been only a year. plus no one around myself holds such beliefs so you can say there is a lot of resistence as well. See you around sir :)

There are authentic Sufi teachers and communities all over the world, almost in all countries... When I first started it I didn't find teachers in my city so I traveled seeking knowledge and guidance. Take care and nice to know you naima.

I really enjoyed that ending. Sometimes we overthink what others think of us, especially our loved ones. The thought of "I'm not good enough." is a scary one, always bringing us down. Our loved ones love us for reasons we'll probably never understand, because we are caught swimming in all our flaws..

Well said @lorddominik007 I like the way you expressed it. It's true that we need to view our self-worth through the strength of our core and our identity and the values we have and live for, rather than underestimating ourselves by the views others might have of us.
