Her Eyes

Her eyes were as beautiful as they could be A puppy dog’s frown looking back at me As they smiled they truly danced with life Those big brown eyes of my beautiful wife I sat behind glass as they filled with tears Scared and alone her eyes danced with fear The depth of her eyes expressed all of the pain Dancing all around me I could feel their shame But when they met mine these words are true Beauty of their love broke me completely into I gazed into her eyes into the depths of her soul Lost up inside those eyes I had found my goal It totally broke my spirit as I realized her pain The thought of it drove me completely insane Over sixty months later when mine got set free Can you guess what eyes were waiting for me? Two beautiful eyes that were so deep and brown Now had a beautiful sparkling puppy dog frown They also had a sternness I had never seen Saying the only way to us is by staying clean All these years later, eyes still as deep as a well I am still lost in their beauty, bound to their spell Telling me good morning as we start another day Her eyes shine with so much love in a beautiful way Sometimes in life we try to be all that we can be I didn’t pick her eyes because her eyes picked me I am lost in the treasure of her beauty and grace I reckon beautiful eyes deserve a beautiful face Expanding on her beautiful eyes that mirror her soul Is no less than my life’s honor and a beautiful goal Written for Sami's contest

It is so easy to see the love you portray is undeniable in its truth and beauty. Another amazing tribute to your beautiful wife and the rare and special love you will share forever. Want to repeat a comment I wrote on Christie's poem, that fairy tales do come true, and right here, and every time you write a poem about the love you share, is proof positive. Good luck in the contest Michael. Love, Shar YF4L xoxo
