Your Eyes

                             Your Eyes

I see them now

as clear as ages ago

and many blurs since

drowned in hither darkness

and forbidden glow

I see them now 

as I saw them then

to shine and see none

but me this vow and us

never forgotten and always mine

to hide and stow

between this moment

and the next

despite all 

this fall

this vexed silence 

and this unheeded call

I see them now 

...your eyes

forever as my only poem

shining through and through 

this foiled soul

as my only meaning 

my rhyme and my clue

stolen is my sun

without them

no time and no being

and all is numb

untrue doubt and lies

I see them now

...your eyes.
