I have huge eyes

eyes as deep and dark as the sea

lovers eyes

mothers eyes

daughters eyes

the eyes of your nearest and dearest friend

critical eyes;

eyes as ancient and knowledgeable as the Nile

eyes as pure and innocent as a child’s;

eyes that have seen hunger

            shown shame

            experienced pain;

eyes as clear as crystal

eyes as cold as a winter in Vermont

eyes as warm as an Indian Summer;

I have huge eyes

eyes that know the difference between love and empathy

eyes that have shown me a cruel, heartless world

eyes that see even in the darkest hour

Piercing eyes

            the eyes of Cleopatra

            the eyes of Sheba

eyes that are forever witnessing a different form of beauty

eyes that were drawn to you

eyes that caress you when you aren’t aware

eyes that speak when I cannot find words;

I have huge eyes

eyes that have restored my faith in new beginnings

I have eyes

            take note

            watch them

I have eyes for you. . .
