Eye Contact

Meet my eye so that I know

Whether you are a friend or foe

Trust is established before you speak

If an ongoing relationship with me you seek

Let our eyes meet before we proceed

Then to other matters we can pay heed

*

I have nothing to hide, I hope that neither do you

But your gaze is shifted downwards, which is a clue

That you have a secret that can bring to an end

Our fledgling interactions my friend..

*

Meet my eye, and let us discuss

How we plan to do business

We can agree, or disagree

But maintain transparency

*

When you start by making eye-contact

It is a powerful nonverbal pact

Between both parties, it establishes trust

Therefore meeting each other’s eye is a must
