In Your Eyes

When I look into your eyes

I sink

and find

a sanctum.

Starlight and moonlight

dissolve the darkness.

Your eyes pentrate

unlocking the depths within me,

places untouched, unknown,

where I am loved.

I see my true self at last,

and my spacious, radiant heart.

How do you do it, I wonder.

Safe within the soft arms of your presence

I am suddenly, gently,

gratefully, humbly,

forever aware

of the purring vibrations of love.

Yours and mine!

There they are,

undeniable, true, and growing …

the reflections of my own love

in your eyes.
