The smudged eyeliner,
speaks a long monologue
of broken promises.

Used a certain way,
It symbolizes resistance,
stops the wrongdoer in their tracks.

Lined smokily, it lays out the laws of attraction,
Commands Antony’s attention and provides Cleopetra’s advantage.

Applied purposefully to ward off evil eyes;
It’s a dark line that has changed the course of histories,
written destinies, and redefined boundaries.
Unlined, it makes the soul of the eyes bereft of expressions,
