Those kohl-lined eyes

a free verse poem

how did you manage,
to tease me,
my love,
if i don’t see those kohl-lined eyes,
my heart burns with despair!

but then,
when i see you again,
that fleeting moment, there,
everlasting happiness seeping in,
kohl-lined eyes look for me,
its a quest of love,
one lovelorn…
