Find the Eyes

By: Noel N. Villarosa

August 6, 2015

Winning games, such a fun

Lingering doubts like a taste in the mouth

Tucked in a blanket, fears still run

A strong dreamer sent to scout

Sit quietly and listen, watch to know

Mornings are pleasant, evenings for a call

Face disturbed for bogeyman to show

Pranks they thought, off to bed and fall

Wink and smile to trick all of those times

She’ll be right beside and kissed goodnight

Gathered some courage to hold a new frame

In a child’s eyes, it’s a secret to hold on tight

Running hours like imaginations ran wild

Slip back to time where castles are made

Out of sheet draped across two chairs and tied

This brief moment draws a smile which never fades

In loneliness when you are past your prime

Take some time and absorb the pleasures

A time out and break into childhood time

Try to find the eyes back to your youthful leisure
