Eyes and Soul: Poetry by Rian Adams
The poem Eyes and Soul is a take on William Shakespeare’s quote, “The eyes are the window to the soul.” I think something spiritual happens when we observe eyes staring back at us in wonder. In essence, it reminds us that we are truly alive.
Even Matthew, the Gospel writer, says this, “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy then your whole body is filled with light.” Matthew’s message is clear, when our eyes are fixed on beauty, be that in ourselves, others, or the divine, we are in a healthy place.
Have you ever looked into the eyes of another and caught a glimpse of love glaring back at you?

Soulmates by Rian Adams
The poem soulmates observes the ever illusive term in light of what love brings out of us. We often put emphasis on what love gives us and not it’s transformation in us. The concept of soulmate goes beyond feelings and, in fact, describes a type of relationship where unity and individuality are products of grace between two hearts.
Have you ever been a better, deeper, person because of another?
Soulmates are the people who pull out the dormant depth that was in us all along.
The kind of relationship that calls us to deeper regions of who we are is important for the soul. If you ever find that kind of relationship, fight for it. It is, and will be, worth it.

Freckles by Rian Adams
I’m just another man who wants to be a poet when he grows up. I hope my words inspire you to find your hope.
The joy of being a poet
First of all, writing poetry is cathartic for my soul and helps me grow as a person. Another reason I enjoy it is that it helps me love with more purity. This poem engages how some of us love so deeply that we desire to notice the simple things. Hence, the inspiration for this poem came at the movies with my son. Because I love him I desire to spend time with him I wrote this one in light of my love for him. Therefore, the picture backdrop is us preparing to watch Infinity War. I’m sitting by him and he’s sitting in his wheelchair, excited, smiling, and ready to watch The Avengers save the world. Again.
Most of all, yes, I know how many freckles are on his perfect little face.
