Just a phase

People do not look into eyes?
They turn around when we walk away?

…
If it is the lip that kisses
If it the eye that catches
If it is nose that sniffs
If it is an ear that listens

…

Back turns on us
Back — sinful than face
Back can back up our actions

…

When face will shine
When face will reassure
When face will just be


…

Painful

Soft

Calm

Gracious

Deep
