In Your Eyes

Bring back your smile
your warmth and your love.
But of all things
Bring me the pools of your eyes.

Deep inside their limitless depth
I can see beginnings.
By crystal pools as I lay rested
on your lap.
My hair unfastened as you
leaned to my eager mouth
and kissed me for the first time.

In visions of mountains
snowcapped in pure morning light
I see the frame of the bedroom window
where honeymoon turned to ecstasy.

Only here in sober memory
I see you as the evening gown
I wore at nighttime revelry.
But far too beautiful for
the ordinary light of day.
