Sixteen Year Eyes


by Jennifer Smola (17)


Fourty years-
give or take
eminate from
sixteen year eyes

The pain of a soldier
the wisdom of a sage
cradle to the grave
sixteen year eyes

Need to soothe
break the stone walls
that hinder my love
sixteen year eyes

My dear old man
let me in, forever yours
too worldly, so cold,
do you still dream?

Fourty years-
give or take
eminate through beautiful
sixteen year eyes
