poem ~ your eyes

I look into your eyes 
and I see a wave of tears,
From the beauty of this moment
as you try to grasp the reflection in the mirror.

I look into your eyes
and see the puddles there so full,
As this moment threatens to show
the pain from all the years out of your control. 

I look into your eyes
and try to read the message that lies there, 
Not knowing if you want me to guess 
or if there is conflict in what you want to share.

I look into your eyes 
content to gaze so deep,
I see the unseen words
that need a heart to reach them for keeps.

I look into your eyes
and feel I understand, 
The voice that longs to share
the experiences that you've always had.

I look into your eyes
and see a longing there,
For unconditional love
and acceptance everywhere. 

I look into your eyes 
acknowledging the beauty that resides,
And the courage that it takes
to give life another try.

I look into your eyes 
and feel I know you so well,
For my soul connects to you
and the life inside your gorgeous pupil.

I look into your eyes
and wish I could stay there,
For the strength I get from the glance
stays with me beyond this moment so rare.

I look inside your eyes
and feel the energy run deep,
For in the life they expel
it makes my day feel complete.

I look inside your eyes
and know with all my soul,
My heart longs to know you better
and to bring healing to the pain you've known.
