Speaking Eyes Poem by Emma Vander Dussen

So soft are these eyes
that search into my soul
so graceful and delicate
that it is as though your fingers
are caressing my brow
putting me to sleep with their
gentle and giving grace

ah i sleep, i slumber
yet my eyes stay open to you
and truths pour out for you
and for you alone
so quickly you pluck them from me
those soft and simple secrets
as you caress my brow
hushing my beating heart
and soothing my searching soul

hush say your eyes
and i wish the world well
you tell me to close my eyes
how they long to know you
as you have known me
hush whisper your eyes
and i rest within your smile
as you softly caress my brow
with soft eyes that speak only of now
