Behind These Eyes
Curiosity seeks from behind these eyes
watching, peeking,
searching, seeking,
never resting,
never bored
always looking
for something more
Intelligence lurks behind these eyes
looking, reading
reaching, needing
ever soaking
ever learning
answers rife
to questions burning.
Lust smolders behind these eyes
gorging on your
hips and thighs
desiring thrust
desiring lips
oh run rampant
my fingers tips.
Wisdom grows behind these eyes
seeing, gleaning
gathering, weighing,
sagely quiet
sagely calm
learning what
to say not wrong.
Tired I am behind these eyes
working, tending,
healing, mending,
souls need
souls freed
in loving peace
I do believe.
Fulfilled I am behind these eyes
giving, laughing,
loving, breathing
sharing steps
sharing strife
memories made
on the road of life.

Well done, Cele! Love how you completed the last stanza.
WOW, C! I LOVE this one. It's beautiful. I am curious... I am not familiar with this style of poetry. Is there an official name of its style?
Sid thank you, I tend to look at poetry as a cycle. Beginning, expansion, learning, completion.
Abgue, I believe it is metered happenstance rhyme from the Ruebeneque Cele period. Also referred to as, WTF it just sounded right to my ears.
