Once, I had beautiful sparkling eyes...
After seeing the ugly things of this world...
They turned dry & lifeless...
They were curious, deep, meaningful & innocent
Somehow... eyes have a way of conveying what we've been through in life...
Reminds us of the brutality they have seen & shown
Just like the lotus in the water, with good people, my eyes were blooming in the sunlight...
Taken out of the water... the same sunshine dried up...
My eyes became lifeless...
Who should I blame? the sunshine or leaving the water?
Lifeless as they are now, my eyes went out to look for the water...
To be blooming again...to be beautiful again...
Being stuck in a desert of ugly truths, they still look for the oasis...
With the self-imposed walls of loneliness... a skull with two holes is all I am left with now...
Can I see life again? Can I ever recover the beauty of my eyes again?
Was the damage a learning experience?...Was it worth?... I don't know...

Nice thoughts in good words.. keep them coming..
Not bad... But then again, what're you trying to say?
And by the way, was it a poem or prose?
Once upon a time world was gud and people r gud..But now change happened for gud or bad..I got wat u r trying to say,U r right :)the damage happened and will hope for the recovery..
@Varun...Well...it could be a late reply... but I still want to address it... what I am trying to say will be clearer probably if you give it another read... and as far as the technicality of poetry and prose is concerned, I don't know the clear demarcations...Its more of a poem for me than prose (though it may not rhyme)... you can take it as free associative writing...
