Eyes

I look in your eyes; I see more than blue.

I don’t see myself reflected, or behold

A void soul searching hard for love untrue.

In your eyes I see life that won’t grow old.

I see a reflection of hope for life.

A deep feeling of a very strong love.

You wish the world to cease all of its strife.

Your eyes ask if there is help from above.

Inside your eyes I feel a warm embrace;

A place that I can feel safe and at home.

This love is shown through your entire face.

No longer do I feel the need to roam.

Your eyes show me a young and loving man,

Whose knowledge is more than his years have spanned.
