Eyes Never Lie

Even in storm,

your eyes don’t lie—

I still see the tranquility in your iris.

Your glistening eyes

hold the place where the answer lies.

Like the bond between a whale and a bird,

where their longing defies nature,

our love shall remain unspoken.

Yet the realm silenced our love—

we shall see only in our silhouettes.

Perhaps a place awaits us,

beyond the sky,

where the showers of mercy fall upon us.

Within that realm,

we shall meet in light,

where no shadow dares to terrify.

-Essi Maria John
