Breath of Poetry

If Eyes Could Speak.

Eyes...we say if you want to know someone the eyes are enough

But do they speak?...

Every pair holds a story untold

And the mouth won't let it unfold

Dreams buried deep in heart

The eyes will tell you from start

A boy who wanted to be a cricketer

Now lost in a corporate sector

Or the girl who wanted to fly high

Is now caged as a housewife

I wish we had the courage

To flee ourselves from suffrage

Instead we chase a life secure

And torture the heart so pure

The eyes beg for liberation

Yet never step without caution

Everything is Known by the soul

But the brain forced to sacrifice all

The stories would be different

If eyes didn't choose to stay silent.
