Wanting to be discovered down to the deepest parts, to have everything known and still not forgotten. Not compliments, but questions. Not to be desired, but wondered about. Not a problem to solve, a soul to understand. Not cold, just distant. Not shallow, but deep. You stand there looking at me, but distance changes nothing. No one becomes yours just from being watched. The eyes love beauty, the mind loves understanding, but the soul only loves what resembles itself. Some things need time before they bloom. If everything happened instantly, nothing would feel valuable. Not faces, but souls become ugly. People chosen like colors from a palette. And from above, everything looks like art. Let there be art inside your eyes. Look into hazel eyes, touch brown hair. A forest somewhere around us, branches moving in the wind, someone climbing a tree just to be remembered. How can something be ugly when somebody once loved it? A face a mother smiles at, a face where someone found beauty. Not harsh, just principled. Not bad, but good. Too deep to see the ending, blue like the sky before rain. Not a problem to solve, a soul to understand. You stand there looking, but distance still remains. Not faces, but souls become ugly. People arranged like colors inside somebody else’s painting. And maybe all of this was art from the beginning. Some things need time before they bloom. If they arrived too quickly, they would never stay precious.

Art In Eyes
Wanting to be discovered down to the deepest parts, to have everything known and still not forgotten. Not compliments, but questions. Not to be desired, but wondered about. Not a problem to solve, a soul to understand. Not cold, just distant. Not shallow, but deep. You stand there looking at me, but distance changes nothing. No one becomes yours just from being watched. The eyes love beauty, the mind loves understanding, but the soul only loves what resembles itself. Some things need time before they bloom. If everything happened instantly, nothing would feel valuable. Not faces, but souls become ugly. People chosen like colors from a palette. And from above, everything looks like art. Let there be art inside your eyes. Look into hazel eyes, touch brown hair. A forest somewhere around us, branches moving in the wind, someone climbing a tree just to be remembered. How can something be ugly when somebody once loved it? A face a mother smiles at, a face where someone found beauty. Not harsh, just principled. Not bad, but good. Too deep to see the ending, blue like the sky before rain. Not a problem to solve, a soul to understand. You stand there looking, but distance still remains. Not faces, but souls become ugly.
