Eyes of May

Listen to poem:
In her eyes, I saw love eternal a mesmeric maternal with a seismic smile For in her tears I saw life’s pain as she would restrain her turbulent trial In her eyes, I saw a selfless soul as she kept control in her daily mazy mile For within her silent stare a pensive prayer the solitudes of her immobile ~~~ In her eyes, I saw the light of God as I stood and awed at her internal being Amidst her inner thoughts, a mind tied in knots of a heart fluttering fleeing In her eyes, I saw myself a distant dust on a shelf before her final sleeping For in her eyes of May that soon faded away until our next mystic meeting. In honor of the first day of May, this contest is for your best poem from LAST May. So it must be dated, from 5/01 to 5/31 of 2018. Minimum 3 lines, maximum of 14 lines. Any topic except political and religious, please.
