Tube eyes

Standing crammed
In your face voyeur
you have to look or hide
behind words on paper

A couple cuddle and hug
smiles kisses and
such a brightness
sparkles in her eyes
and a smile so warm
a pure intensity
innocently observed

Words said in a language
not understood

a cloud appears
a shadow passes
over her face

what was said? and why
to lose such a gift
a sudden storm
frowns and down
cast eyes glint no more
more steel in her

a hug shrugged off
sad to watch this change
