Eyes that hear
This person I’m with knows me
with a pair of green eyes like a calm forest
lined with a golden sunrise
in a dark room that is not mine
it is the most comfortable room that I have ever been in
Those eyes look into me to see more than I can show.
Her ears, hidden by long hair
but my words are not muffled
like others whose ears are uncovered.
A mouth that softly hums when I don’t speak
because they know that there is more to be said
and does not smile or laugh at me, but with me
in a way that I will always know who it is.
A person that knows me and still accepts me
Great poem Michael I enjoy how you wrote your special person without naming them. Great way to describe the green eyes with a calm forest.
ReplyDeleteI thought this was a really good poem Michael! I thought the writing was at its best when you said, "Those eyes look into me to see more than I can show". It shows that this person really understands you.
