Secrets of the Heart

poem by: Eireann O'Kane
Written on Feb 07, 2016 

Eyes without speaking tell secrets of the heart

A smile cannot hide,
The glistening black,
The pupil it speaks,
“This girl has lost her track.”

Look away or you will see,
The pain she cannot tell,
The hurt she buries deep,
For fear you will repel.

A laugh cannot hide,
The river of  red,
The iris it speaks,
“This girl is full of dread.”

Look away or you will see,
The pain she cannot tell,
The hurt she buries deep,
For fear you will repel

For this girl, she cannot see,
Convinced  she's playing her part,
That eyes without speaking, 
Tell secrets of the heart.

I often wonder back and forth, Forth and back, like a hummingbird, To and Fro, on you go, My little hummingbird. I sang a song a long time ago, You tried to make them hear, You hurt my heart my little humming bird, Won't you ... Read more
