The kohl in her eyes

In a bookstore he spots
A girl; A discovery of sorts
Because,
The kohl in her eyes
Is where his heart lies.

As I said:
The kohl in her eyes
Is where his heart lies.
He sees her she turns away
He decides then not to say.

But then,
The kohl in her eyes
Is where his heart lies.
He goes to the counter where she's selling
Braille's literature; A page for a shilling.

He sees her, she sees him
But the irony; Her eyes are dim.
And still,
The kohl in her eyes
Is where his heart lies.
