In Her Eyes | Poetry

In her dreamy lustrous eyes, I see a golden sparkle;
Whiffs of fairy dust smear her unblemished cheeks;
I long for her presence in the loveliest of dark nights -
When the singing nightingale to his beloved speaks.

In her tear-filled soulful eyes, I sense a hint of sorrow;
Her deep dark eyes betray glimpses of a tragic loss;
Hand in hand, we sail to the edge of the wide world;
And into the deepest of still waters all worries toss.

In her brilliant eyes, brighter than a thousand suns;
She weaves magic that fades the unhappiest of scars;
With the strongest of wills to persevere and conquer -
Taking a perfect aim, she shoots for the farthest stars.

In her bloodshot forbidding eyes, I see furrowed lines;  
Of gashes and wounds inflicted by the treacherous lot;
Bold 'n unyielding, she unleashes her wings of wrath -
Never before has a battle been more valiantly fought.

In her emboldened eyes, burns an unquenchable fire -
Undeterred by the gloom of the ill-fated dark night;
There's nothing that her spirited self cannot achieve -
When her enlightened mind, body and soul unite.
