Eyes of Love

The many eyes of Qiniso’s love-life
There was the one with the soft eyes
Speaking to a peaceful existence
The one with the dark eyes
Which reflected her ill-treatment at the hands of the meanest of men
She had her dagger out to exact revenge on ALL men
An unapologetic misandrist
The one with piercing eyes
Threatening to do the unthinkable 
If the circumstances so dictated
Darting eyes
Unsure of which love-path to follow
Loving eyes
Casting warmth on his soul
Fearful eyes
Unsure of how long this would last
Guilty eyes
Speaking to a checkered past
Blank eyes
Reflecting an empty soul
Devoid of hope
Wide, bright eyes, speaking to unparalleled intelligence
Innocent eyes
Untainted by the evils of this world
Beady eyes, 
Screaming lechery and malice
As someone once said: the eyes are the windows of the soul
