Oh, one day he'll look at me with Eyes that leave me breathless... Will they be blue or green like The gleaming ocean depths, Or a deep brown like the earth After a refreshing, quenching rain? Will they hold such enchantment That mine will become transfixed In their soft mesmerizing gaze? Will I see into their sacred soul When our eyes finally encounter Each other's light reflecting orbs? Surely my eyes will glisten with Moist tears of joyful recognition As my bashful eyelashes flutter Like a butterfly's while winging. I hope to dream of such soulful Eyes, the kind that deftly hypnotize, Eyes that dwell in tandem with A special kindred, romantic heart. © Connie Marcum Wong July 8, 2017 Third place in The Eyes Have It Contest Sponsored by Daniel Turner The beautiful eyes in the photo are of the late actor of The Fast and Furious - Paul Walker. May he RIP.

Thank you very much Chris. My sweet little daughter in law had her picture taken with him when he came to eat at a Japanese restaurant she works at. Such a loss, I agree. : )

Eyes cannot conceal the truths we hold deep inside our souls. The truths you have described for us not only give us that, but allow us to share part of your soul. Beautifully done and thank you for a peek at your
