Eye Sonnet

In his eyes, I saw a certain divinity
that made me see his true affinity
He captivated me
When I looked at him, I could see
the colors he possessed were hard to believe
In his eyes, I saw clarity
I could not help but stay appreciating
the precious pair that glowed,
glistering with sparkle of life
Each blink revealed a new site
In his eyes, I saw and
experienced something
that I could only witness
when it is his eyes that I'm looking at....
