your eyes
to look into your eyes and see eternity...

your eyes
the eyes
are the open windows
to the soul
and in the moments that i look
deep into them
though they are clouded
because of the pain
they still burn with a flame
of fight
your eyes
smile like the first day
i met you
though there is a flicker
of regret
knowing that our days
together
will be like sand out of
our fingers
my eyes
are the dikes breaking
please don't
let her see my weakness
my fears
but a single tear
warm and salty rolls down
my cheeks
and then a frail hand touches my face.

It is good to share the vulnerability and the fears. Not weakness, but intimacy. I love the tender scene painted here.
Moving--the eyes as both holding experience and communicating through that experience gave me shivers.
What a deep poem here. I can feel the intensity of both sets of eyes, their feeling, their communication!
To drown in each other's eyes... what a wonderful and bittersweet thing when parting is near.
Oh gosh this is incredibly romantic!!💖💖 Indeed, there lie so many emotions in the other person's eye.
That was awesome. Always a joy to read you.

A touching scene as a loved one lays ill and dying. For those of us that have experienced this it is one of the hardest things to bear.
Beautifully said. Reminded me of a similar moment, when I could not prevent my tears and my dying husband comforted me.
