Eyes of Love

A mind may see a thousand eyes 
Though the heart yearns for two;
When the eyes we love have up and gone, 
To the arms of someone new.

Eyes that twinkle, I distrust,
For they are the distant stars.
Eyes in love have a steady glow
Like Venus, the Moon or Mars.

Eyes of love, like planets at night,
Use borrowed light to shine.
Eyes are the living lenses
To the camera of our mind.

Eyes tend to believe themselves 
Like the blind love of mothers. 
Eyes speak without words
To the hearts and souls of others.
