Dig Deep

My eyes are open but I do not see,
details slip and slide and elude me,
outer appearance is not important,
skin deep beauty is irrelevant.

I can tell you about a person’s mood,
and if his intent is bad or good,
I know if he’s willing to go great lengths,
I am aware of his foibles and strengths.

What is inside excites and intrigues me,
remove the wrapping paper to see,
is he a person to treasure and keep,
or perhaps I’ve uncovered a creep.

Discerning what’s true and fake takes its toll,
but eyes do indeed reflect the soul,
penetrate his eyes to his very core,
you will find what you are looking for.
