Of Your Eyes

Your eyes, those beautiful eyes
So deep, dark, and wise...
They say so much without you speaking a word.
Even though I've never gazed into them
With us together face to face,
Their presence within your image is unforgettable.

I see them, they are with me
Looking after me, looking within me...
I see them in the dark,
I see them when my eyes are closed.
Their effulgent beauty shines like a white light
Reflecting the beauty of your soul

You see it not, for your wear the mask of humility.
Others see it in you, and part of your beauty 
Is you see it not in yourself.
You are giving, kind and thoughtful, embodying qualities
Seen so much in so few. 
Your concern, compassion, devotion, and loyalty 
Shine like a radiant star watching down over the ones you love.

Your eyes enshroud me the way your arms would if you were here
Their light wrapping around me like a blanket, 
Making me feel warm, protected, and loved...
I long for your touch-- every day that goes by without you is an eternity.

But when my eyes are closed, they are there waiting for me
Watching and waiting, reassuring and loving...
Telling me the wait wont be forever, even though it feels as such
Their wordless words saying to my mind, 
"I will always love you..."
