I Will See It In Your Eyes
~~~
You say it won’t
I know it will
It always does
I will see it in your eyes
~~~
A different man
I will become
If my scant veil
Lifted from all the lies
~~~
What you may think
And what I know
Two different men
Yet bearing the same face
~~~
You only see
Best I exude
Halo above
Evil, but a shadowed trace
~~~
You cannot know
What evil grows
Another’s death
A well-known, age old friend
~~~
From bloodied hands
Of hardened heart
Within them still
No fear to promote one’s end
~~~
For taking life
Without a tear
The killing lust
Is tattooed in the mind
~~~
If stripped away
The layered lies
That evil man
Becomes easy to still find
~~~
And change you will
Your view of who
Is standing now
Truth seen uncompromised
~~~
You say it won’t
I know it will
It always does
I will see it in your eyes
~~~

My first impression of the poem is that it has that insane dark vibe, something mysterious and exciting, it’s also about a change in a person’s personality, and often, it goes unnoticed until one fully transitions. Right now, I am going through a difference, and I do feel no one noticed; I can connect to this, Brad. I also love the form, like how in a few choices word you expressed something this transformative. I missed reading your work
Thank you V! But you would be wrong to think no one noticed. Sometimes people just do not know what words to share when someone else is suffering, so they remain silent. As long as you do not seek the silence, your path to healing will continue to unfold before you!
Hi Brad your enlightening comment is as wonderful as the poem; I must say I always learn some great things from you.
The words of this poem really resonated with me. I could see them as though they were written from your own personal experience, but, although we do not have the same experiences, I can also see them as they apply to me personally. This poem touched me in a place that no one ever gets to see.
Thanks sis! I do not think anyone has ever said anything so kind about my words. Love you!
Beautifully powerful, dark, enchanting verses Brad…loved it!
Thank you Francisco!
My pleasure my friend!
I cannot argue that I haven’t had the pleasure of getting to know you to the fullest extent, nor can I argue that I only see the sides of you, you want me to see. I can, however, argue that if you ever do unleash your demons and let me see what you feel are the less appealing sides of you, my eyes will remain as soft and unjudgemental as they always have.
How could I ever judge your past when it has helped shape you into the man you are today? And although I may not know that man extremely well, there is nothing you could tell me that would ever change my adoring view of him.
Well, you may be the one exception to the rule, but then again I always thought of you as a unicorn. Thank you for your kind words and loving support, my dearest Kristian!
Awww. 😘😘 You always have my support.
‘Two different men Yet bearing the same face” Yes to those words!
Thanks Geoff!
wonderful poe, Brad. reminds me of the lyrics from The Stranger, by Billy Joel:
Well we all have a face
That we hide away forever
And we take them out
And show ourselves
When everyone has gone
That is a kind compliment. Thank you, Jim!
Wow, this was a different form for you but was very impactful. Unfortunately there can be two sides to a man or woman. Sometimes we only see the good at first and eventually something that we never saw can rear its ugly head. I don’t think you’re talking about yourself Brad, I think you’re talking about someone who surprised someone you cared about. I may be wrong but with you, I believe, is what you see and what we read is what you truly are, a treasured friend, a tender hearted poet and a good man. ❤️🤗🌹🥰Love Jonikins
Thank you Jonikins! I am not sure I am all of those things, but I hope I am at least one.
Well that is what I think. Hope you have a good Sunday Brad. Sending love ❤️ Jonikins
