Poem: Those Aviator Eyes

I hide my eyes,

I hide my eyes,

I hide my eyes from hers;

To make the glare in my eyes disappear,

Which startled looking at hers.

 

To stop her see

The pain she gave,

The suffering and the wound;

The bleeding tears,

The gruesome agony,

And the hate that came around.

 

I stooped myself,

I stooped myself,

I stooped myself down in front of hers;

So she couldn’t see the smile I had,

The smile I had seeing her.

 

I wonder if she knew,

I wonder if she knew,

I wonder if she knew what I felt for her;

If I could say all that needed to be known,

All the talking that I meant for her.

 

I felt destroyed, I felt cheated.

I felt heart-broken, I felt beaten.

I felt grief, I felt unhappiness.

I felt hatred, I felt loneliness.

 

I followed the path,

I followed the path,

I followed the path of immorality.

Which led me away from my ethos,

And away from my tranquility.

 

I cried for days, I cried for nights.

I put on a blissful face as disguise.

But at last I rose up like a phoenix from its ash

Burning in those bright blue flames as carcass.

 

But now, all I need

All I want

All my broken heart commands

Is to know one answer :

 

“COULDN’T YOU READ MY EYES; THOSE AVIATOR EYES???”
