— e.a.s.

She was never crazy,
She just lived too vibrantly.
Always contained “too much” energy,
Constantly had a fire in her eyes,
Her vitality would radiate onto others.

The intensity of her spirit was just too much to take in at one time.

Her character wasn’t flawed,
It just underlined the flaws in everyone else’s personality.

— Jodi Picoult, Sing You Home

“When you are attracted to people, it’s because of the details. Their kindness. Their eyes. The fact that they can get you to laugh when you need it the most.”

— Rumi

“Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.”

There is Happy In Your Eyes

— Perspectives, Nikita Gill

“Some people are born with tornados in their lives,

but constellations in their eyes.

Other people are born with stars at their feet,

but their souls are lost at sea.”

— Mark Z. Danielewski, The House of Leaves

“Focus on these words, and whatever you do don’t let your eyes wander past the perimeter of this page. Now imagine just beyond your peripheral vision, maybe behind you, maybe to the side of you, maybe even in front of you, but right where you can’t see it, something is quietly closing in on you, so quiet in fact you can only hear it as silence. Find those pockets without sound. That’s where it is. Right at this moment. But don’t look. Keep your eyes here. Now take a deep breath. Go ahead take an even deeper one. Only this time as you start to exhale, try to imagine how fast it will happen, how hard it’s gonna hit you, how many times it will stab your jugular with its teeth or are they nails?, don’t worry, that particular detail doesn’t matter, because before you have time to even process that you should be moving, you should be running, you should at the very least be flinging up your arms – you sure as hell should be getting rid of this book – you don’t have time to even scream.
Don’t look.
I didn’t.”

— Gregory Orr, from “When I first saw …” in The Caged Owl: New & Selected (Copper Canyon Press, 2002)

“When I first saw her
she was so beautiful
I wanted to be a mirror
and hold all of her.
My eyes couldn’t do that,
much as I tried
to calm them, saying:
‘Drink deep of her face.’ If I had become a lake …
A mirror is all surface
but a lake has depths.
I would have drawn her in,
[…]
alive inside me.”

When I close my eyes

“When I close my eyes, 

I see you. When I open my eyes, 

I miss you…”

— Will Ferrell on Zayn

“Once you look into his eyes 

it’s over, lights out.”

I’m pinned to the spot but not out of fear;

Yours eyes flash like lightning 

when they look at me; 

I can see the storms raging

and I can’t seem to look away - 

I’m pinned to the spot 

but not out of fear; 

no, I don’t fear your dark

and stormy eyes, 

because I can’t wait

to be engulfed by you, 

to get caught up 

in your tempestuous stare.

I need someone who

“I need someone who
Sees the fire in my eyes and
wants to play with it.”

— Haiku by l.s.f.

I need someone who
Sees the fire in my eyes and
wants to play with it.

just close your eyes.

Our eyes are placed in the front of our head because....

Our eyes are placed in the front of 

our head because it's better to look

 forward, then to look back.

The beauty of a Woman

You should have opened your eyes. I was crazy for you.

things change when you finally

have enough and move on.

Look at the sky. It’s not dark and black and without character.

"Look at the sky. It’s not dark and black and without character. The black is in fact deep blue. And over there! Lighter blue. And blowing through the blueness and the blackness, the winds swirling through the air. And there shining, burning, bursting through, the stars! Can you see how they roar their light? Everywhere we look, the complex magic of nature blazes before our eyes."

It's enough

4 in the evening
I know something wrong
I can hear by the sound of your voice
You say you’re okay
But you don’t have to hide it.
I know what’s wrong.
I can see it in your eyes
Everything else may appear fine
But your eyes tell it all
You’re about to lose hope
About to let go
Ready to give in
Don’t lose yourself just yet
Something good is coming your way
Just wait for it
I can tell you for sure
You’re going to be a beautiful girl
Just chin up
The worst is now gone
Drop that razor,
Call your best friend.
Tell your parents you love them
You have so much to live for
Just don’t give up
It will turn out okay
Trust me I’ve been through the same.
