Phil Capitano Poet Free verse

For Your Eyes

FOR YOUR EYES

I wanted to bring you
Something from my bike-ride
But couldn’t find a rock
That was shiny enough
For your eyes.
There were no flowers
Bright enough
For your eyes.
Not a sight scenic enough
Nor feather white enough
For your eyes.
For your eyes are rivers
To your soul and I am
A lonely traveler
Making my way home.
So, what I’m asking is this,
I’ve come empty-handed,
Will you still take me in?
