In Your Eyes

By: Miriam M. Wynn

In your eyes,
I have seen
Warmth,
Depth,
Heaven.

So sweet and slow,
They are deep like the oceans,
And warm as the sun.

Your eyes are true to me;
They tell me things
I've only dreamed;
And their touch falls soft
And reassuring,
Like rose petals;
Tender as your sweet caresses

And I am saved.

In your eyes,
I see my life,
I see the world,
I see the dawn.

In your eyes,
I see your smiles,
And I know your sighs.
Mix them with tears,
Stir them with laughter,
All your promises to me,

And joy is what I feel.

In your eyes,
I have known peace,
So kind and loving,
So sure and passionate:

You've captured me

In your eyes,
Despite everything dark,
You show me a light,

And you save me.

Forgetting everything that forbids us,
In your eyes,
I am promised heaven.
Despite what fate has given us,
Your eyes give me hope,
Your eyes reassure me
Of your love,
And your touch.

Your eyes hold me
Like the arms I long for,
And will always long for,
Long into the shadows of dusk.

And for however many nights
I may suffer alone,
I'll remember your eyes,
Full of love.

Valleys and mountains
Are held within your eyes,
And I see your happiness in them,
Beyond me, far away,
In a place I cannot go.

In your eyes,
I see our kisses;
The past and the future,
And I know that I can dream
And hold you close to me.

In your eyes,
I know your love;
I touch the heavens,
And soar inside.

And for all that I may ever falter,
For all the shadows that shall cover me,
I shall overcome them,
For I'll remember your eyes,
And I always will.

I remember your eyes:

Large and wide

Deep as the oceans

Sure as the sun

Always eternal

And I am saved.
