What moves behind those darkling eyes <br />What memories concealed - <br />What shadows drift within their gaze <br />What visions unrevealed <br /> <br />If I could reach into your mind <br />All hidden thoughts to know <br />What phantoms would I find therein <br />What dreams would inside flow <br /> <br />For as I look upon those eyes <br />I see a secret world <br />A world that you alone shall keep <br />To never be unfurled <br /> <br />The stories that you hold within <br />Are yours forevermore <br />To carry with you through all time <br />Within your mem'ry store <br /> <br />So when I see a wistful smile <br />Or catch a teardrop fall <br />I know that you're remembering <br />All that you would recall <br /> <br />Perhaps a mother's gentle kiss <br />Perhaps her warm embrace <br />Or maybe it's a sadder song <br />Reflected on your face <br /> <br />If only you would beckon me <br />Behind those darkling eyes <br />That I might join my soul with yours <br />Before the sunlight dies<br /><br />Valerie Dohren<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/darkling-eyes/
