Their Reflection In My Eyes

For all the stars that shined their light And found their reflection in my eyes Not one could illuminate this cavernous sky For their vision was constrained by sight You peer into the depths of my galaxies Without a word my heart falls to knee So loving, piercing, so all consuming Are your eyes when beholding me Your touch like brilliant colors tracing the sky You wrap me in your light while my old skin takes flight Peculiar the way without you for hours or a day My body feels naked my world in dismay A word with more power than loves been explained Is thee expression I seek yet fail to attain It resides in the sound I hear in your voice Or how it feels on my lips to say your name No lyric or poem nor work of art No celestial body that lingers on high No beauty that lies where ocean waters hide Describe how you search me with your eyes You exhume a surrender I once buried so deep From that first time my heart skinned its knee Which taught me give only your soul to this point Relinquish not your own needs... Quickly wish them Godspeed Yet you say without words in those sapphire pools That you'll honor the treasure of my trust My surrender is your prize the apple of your eye Your bride and the love of your life Our dreams and our needs no longer be carried alone For infinities love ever winds My joy is your smile your crown is my throne Your happiness is mine intertwined Yes so many stars have shined their light And found their reflection in my eyes But only yours has shined so bright it begs a loving surrender... known as a wife
