The saddest eyes
I’ve ever seen
A smiling boy
Those smoking sins
A cigarette butt
Stabbed the wall
The standing soul
Those happy glimpses
Like darker cells
That spread,
Unknown
Till far away
They reach
The horizon
Like fool,
Like foe,
Like friend,
Sad fear
Like darker cells
That spread,
Unknown
A cigarette butt,
Stabs the wall
The standing soul
Those happy glimpses
The smoking sins
Once happier eyes
A cry inside
Those gloomy stanzas
Don’t fade away,
My smiling boy,
Your sad,
Sad eyes,
Those starlit glimpses
The saddest eyes
I’ve ever seen
A smiling boy
And starlight
Glitter
Like clear cells
That spread,
Unknown,
A Smile, inside,
By pink light
Brightened
Don’t close them yet,
My smiling boy,
Your sad,
Sad eyes,
To happy
Glimpses
Oh I loved this phrasing in particular “Sad eyes, those starlit glimpses” 👏👏👏
Thank you Secrets :)!!!

Thank you Benjamin!!
You’re most welcome!
This is very beautiful. I absolutely love the repetition of some of the lines. It gives the poem a very likable rhythm.
Thanks so much. Really happy you like it.
