What Happens When a Romantic Poet Describes Your Eyes?
<h1>“Windows to the Soul”</h1>
<p>They say eyes have a language of their own. That they can speak volumes without a word being spoken.</p>
<p>I agree.</p>
<p>In some cultures, like mine, it is all about celebrating the eyes.</p>

<p>Sometimes I have wondered whether it started as a form of defiance in a patriarchial society where women were supposed to be seen and not heard. Because it can be a powerful means of expressing a full range of emotions from anger, sorrow, pain, and joy.</p>

<p>Perhaps it is because of my cultural background, I know how alluring eyes can be and quite frankly, I consider my eyes to be my best asset. Simply because I feel they better interpret how I am feeling as opposed to putting them into words.</p>

<p>In a previous long-term relationship, I had no voice. My preferences, or opinions on anything, even the choice of kitchen mats were never asked or welcomed. It is no exaggeration that after a while, I stopped talking maybe because I inherently knew there was no point. Initially, it was scary because the moment the words started to form, they would be stifled somewhere in the area around my throat.</p>
