Windows To the Soul

His eyes twinkle
And he smiles suddenly
When he is kidding
Or teasing me.

I always see a light
In those beautiful blue eyes.
Sometimes shadowed,
But always there.

I have trouble 
Looking in his
Eyes for long.
I always have.

When I look 
Deeply in his eyes,
I feel like everything 
Is stripped away.

I feel like he can
See deep in my soul.
He is the only person
Who has that ability.

I see the world
In those eyes.
I see eternity staring
Into those eyes.

And I see me 
In those eyes.
I see me the way
That he sees me.

He’ll show no emotion
On his face; but
If you look in
His eyes, it’s there.

Hiding nothing, 
Everything bare,
The eyes truly are
The windows to the soul.
