Tender Eyes

Kristina H

--

Not quite blue, nor are they green.

Like the murky ocean waters.

They captured me from our first glance,

And have let me in, ever since.

~~~~❤~~~~

They are the windows to your soul,

And they touch mine, so deeply.

I see every mood, every feeling.

Without looking at your heart.

~~~~❤~~~~~

A flash of steel when you are angry,

Rays of sunshine when you smile.

Warmth that can melt ice,

A gaze of yearning, from across the room.

~~~~❤~~~~

Through your eyes, I see forever

I see you aging, as am I.

Clouded over through time,

Yet I can still you, through your lenses.

~~~~❤~~~~

I know what you are telling me,

As you search me in a crowd.

Your gaze says all of your words, unspoken,

A language of our own.

~~~~~❤~~~~~

With a glance, you empower me,

Or shatter my mood, for a moment in time.

I see myself beneath the thick lashes,

Of your tender eyes.

~~~~❤~~~~

The warmth of your smile

Shines through me.

The love that radiates as mirrors.

You tenderize my anxious heart.

~~~~❤~~~~
