my first piece of slam poetry.
Open your eyes
See me
Like I see you

Cuz even if you don't
See me
I do see you

You close your eyes
bat your lashes
Are you afraid to
see a world of ashes?

Release your worries
Abandon fears
Forget your sorrows
dry your tears!

We can face the world
hand in hand
Cuz it's your eyes
that will captivate the land

The darkest blue
of the deepest sea
That's the story
your eyes tell me

A summer's day and
The end of rain
Are shown to me
in a lighter strain

What joy there'd be
if you would show
your eyes for all
the world to know

Or a simpler joy
for only me,
to stare into
those eyes of thee.

Their hazy green
convey a feel
of gracious plains under
clouds that wheel

And when the stars
shine in the night
Before your eyes,
they're not as bright

Yet still you hide them
full of fright
Let go of dark
Embrace the light

Open your eyes
Trust in your senses
Stop hiding your feelings
behind cold defenses

Why should you
be so ashamed
to show emotion
so untamed?

It's your eyes
that dominate the mind
and the souls of those
in a world unkind

Cuz there's strength
in those eyes that gleam
with flecks of bronze,
or so it seems

Perhaps it's gold
in another part
They say the eyes
can show the heart

But digressions only
go so far
It's time I talked
of things that are

Vivid colors
'round two black pearls
Those eyes of yours
could change the world

All this is why
I feel dutiful
to tell you that
Your eyes are...
I don't even have to say it
