Your Eyes

Through my eyes

I’ve never seen such love

as I do when

I stare into yours.

So clearly I see

my reflection,

somewhat distorted,

but for once,

I can’t stop

to criticize myself,

for I’m intrigued.

I must look deeper

and deeper

till all the depths

of your soul

are displayed

before me

and I smile,

because in those depths

my image lingers also.

Suddenly I am taken aback

by the slightest movement

of your lips

and when I see you smile

I know you’ve seen yourself

in my eyes.

And with common embarrassment,

we both look away,

never having felt such love.
