Her eyes they shine  







The deepest blue, matching the sky    

            In the evening, looking off east

O’er the Cascades, latest July

                 Through smoke roasting leg of beast

Can’t look away, though I do try,

                 My mind recoils from the feast.




Across the office, right at lunch

                 I notice the tumbling sea

Crashing waves cause pebbles to crunch

                Tsunami rolls in, wild and free

Afraid to move, I ponder brunch

                And ask those eyes to come with me  




Across the table, crystal clear              

         Aquamarine gemstones shine bright

Facetted perfect shed no tear

                 Refracting starlight in the night

Bringing me peace, removing fear

                Those eyes make me feel I’m alright
