Eyes like sunshine

 

You have eyes that glow like sunshine

a smile that tastes like fine wine.

And I'm intoxicated by the way you

speak Your words so delicately,

yet with power that eclipses time.

I feel your mind as it spins its threads,

weaving moments out of the ordinary

and embroidering them

into the most fascinating story.

And I'm sat cross-legged on the floor

like a toddler in awe

at the way you pour so much emotion

into every teardrop spoken

with a raw passion that burns within.

 

You have eyes that speak of ages,

you have the air of a mystic sage,

giving wisdom through the way you read

the words written on your page.

Your hair captivates me

and I'm standing chained

in the shackles of the love

you are whispering.

You have the heart of a dove,

white, flying to guide to the highest land,

when all I see is a vast ocean of nothingness.

You have the wings of an angel,

you must do,

because you fly through

my dreams when I think of you.

 

You have eyes

that have cried rivers

I see the mascara canyons,

the slight cracks

where hurt has worn your skin

like a bandage. I see the fight to keep going

when everything felt like it was crashing

and the brakes were not working.

I see the hurt in the way you cover your wrists,

the slight sliver of a silver blemish on the skin,

A moment of lost hope

turned on in the dark night.

I see the bruises that have

been masked by years,

I see the scars that you hide

and I see that I love every part of you,

and never want you to feel so lost again.

I see myself, looking on. And I see a tear fall

softly to the floor. I couldn’t love you more.
