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.
