When I Look In Your Eyes

There are days where we are just driving, around and enjoying the smell of the beach and the cool breeze blowing . Sometimes I look over at you on these trips and you look right back at me. And in your eyes I see love. I see a glint of the imp within. I see your joy in simple things in life. All this from one simple glance. There are days when I just know something is wrong. And in your eyes i see fear that i can't dissapate. I see hurt that wont heal. I see dissapointment attempting to be clouded by a glimmer of hope. And inside I weep at my innability to help you. The days where you are happy, these are I love the most. And in your eyes i see joy. I see pleasure and your eyes, they smile. When I look in your eyes, you show me your heart.

It is impotence that is the loudest pain in the poet's work, and you having felt that pain is not afraid to share it here. This is a good poem, because it becomes a metaphor for the poet ... all of us.
