HAVE YOU SEEN MY LOVE?

Have you seen my love?

Have you gazed into her eyes?

I’ve read that eyes

Cannot change color.

Not once, but several times

I have observed those magic portals.

Sometimes as through fog from a distance

And also from a sweet breath away,

When I feel like a man prone on desert sands,

Soaking in the healing wetness

Of a cool oasis pool.

At times those luscious orbs

Appear grey like the sea

On a gloomy turbulent day.

Other times they are dark blue,

Flecked with silver

Like majestic granite mountains

At dusk.

My favorite color

-although I love them all-

Is when they are bright

Like glowing turquoise

And scintillating sapphires.

More dazzling than her mystical smile

It seems

That she is happiest then.

Whatever the color –

Green, gold, teal or sapphire –

My Love’s eyes sparkle

Like burnished gold and silver.

Large, pretty,

Swallowing the earth and the sea,

As they scry the world.

They are gems that mirror

A soul

That has traveled through great fires.

One in a million,

She is more beautiful

Than Venus on the half shell.

While I am lost in the fantastic dreamscape

Of those marvelous eyes

I can barely fathom

The rest of her bounty.

Gifted and possessing a quick mind,

Kindness and mercy flow

From the font of her innermost being.

She is a kindred spirit,

A lost princess

And the 8^th wonder of the world.
