Eyes

Eyes so blue, frigid cold
reaching out for something to hold,
a piercing glance that freezes the heart,
a gaze that chills the soul,
eyes that show emotions strong
when with tears are full.
Other senses dim,
the eyes take command,
put a tremor in the heart,
a quiver in the hand.
They freeze strangers out,
build an icy wall,
block out all advances
even friendly calls.
The eyes judge and condemn
in one sweeping glance,
never giving anyone
time for a second chance.
