Those Eyes of Yours

Two flickering candles in a room of total obscurity

Penetrating and captivating the very essence of my soul.

As they dance the dance of true contentment

And beckon my being to succumb to the fight,

I find those eyes of yours so alluring

They are so much more than just the organs of sight.

For when you stare or merely glance a look

I see the devilish intentions they hide.

That hazel fire that burns deep within

And the passion with which it can ignite,

I find those eyes of yours so seductive

They reflect my life with a newfound light.

I feel the pain like a knife through my heart

Whenever they shed a tear.

The sorrow that lies in the centre of those orbs

And the compassion with which you view all life,

I find those eyes of yours so empathetic

I know I can live with feeling no strife.

When they light with a glow that proves your happiness

My spirit flies on a wing of white feathers.

My soul dances to the rhythm of your eyes

And through their intense stares I feel your bliss,

I find those eyes of yours so elated

As we pull away from the sacred kiss.

I’d hate to look into your eyes and see an ounce of pain

Or find a secret well hidden away, revealing some dark entity.

But I know that your eyes and all they hold

Are so sanctified and so pure,

I find those eyes of yours so amazing

They will forever be my only cure.
