In Your Eyes

By Robert C Price

 

Eyes the color of

Mahogany

They tell my truth

My ambitions

 

I fear looking into

Your abyss

They swallow my being

Burn holes into my soul

 

Disappointments have come

And gone

Your eyes remain constant

Like the mountains

Weathered and beaten

 

But still standing

Still watching

 

In your eyes I see

Strength

Compassion

Love unconditional

 

My heart through

It all
