I challenge you to have a look
Into my eyes and say
What it is you see in there
Is it true what they say

Some say I have the power
To look straight into their hearts
Some say my eyes are piercing
Seeing every secret thought

Some see the joy and laughter
Or catch me wandering
Some see the hidden pain
That lays deep within

Some see the love I feel
For friends to me so dear
Some dare to have a look
At my innermost fears

Yet no-one was able
To see the "all" of me
I challenge you to have a look
And tell me what you see

Only the one who dares
To have a real good look
Will find I truly am
Just an open book
Do you dare to enter
The windows
Of my soul ?

That was pretty deep Munda!  I'll bet whats behind your windows is pretty complex.

A novel approach Munda. I accept the challenge. Tell me where or when

This is an amazing piece Munda.  As J said, pretty deep.

Your poem really describes the way ALL people are. We wait and wait for someone who can come along and see the whole person,not just the surface,and not just ONE element of the person. I'm one of the fortunate ones who have found that person =]

I haven't seen all of you, but I like what I've seen. And I liked the picture of you and your daughter. Very nice

Munda,
A poem as deep as your eyes. I'm up for a good challenge, but first you'll have to take off your sunglasses.

Munda--A deep and touching poem....  I hope that someone gallantly meets the challenge head-on and sees "all" of you.  I'm glad they are windows to your soul and not doors.

Behind every beautiful face there's some kind of pain.

Bin to the bottom of a whirl pool of lies
Aint looking for nothing in anyones eyes.

Do we ever TRULY know each other?

A very thought provoking poem Munda.

This was great, Munda, and intriguing challenge if someone can't see all of you they are missing out  on a great person!!! The one that will see all with out  judging or forming opinions exists out there  one day you will meet  

 Mystical being
which makes ink flow
Surround me in
your incandescent glow
Fill my brain with
thoughts and rhyme
As I try to capture
but a moment in time

I wish I could look through the windows...seeing into your soul and seeing who you really are would be a real treat. Just like reading your lovely poem was. Beautiful job on that poem, Munda!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

I'm sorry to say, it seems that is the way all people are.  I have yet to find a person that isn't overly concerned with the outside shell, rather than the hopes and dreams that lie within the window of our souls.  I wish the world weren't so self-centered, but it is people like the ones who spend a lot of our time in the Pub, that can change that.


 Hope,

Munda,

This is a wonderful piece.  So many people don't even try to look through the windows of our being.  I hope someday to find someone who does and I hope you do too.

Beneath our skin lays our soul
Exposed to no one
Layers keep away those who want to find
Windows of our souls
Just reflect
The bright sunshine.
But can one get into our mind?

What do ya think of that one Munda?  I loved this poem, absolutely loved it!  Awesome work.

Joy
