Lavender Eyes

To be behind a slight disguise behind those liquid lavender eyes long search hard to find a special soul nothing unkind a feeling strong a heart that’s true but wait I think they’re deep deep blue I stare into a certain fate I feel the pulse with quickened gate spirit image and magic call I am certain this is no illusion wonderful real no confusion lavender eyes forever together sharing time with my beautiful feather lavender eyes no disguise I gaze into those lavender eyes This poem was published in 2006 in a compilation book entitled "Timeless Voices" by The International Library Of Poetry.
