Reasons why

Your eyes are alluring, arresting my gaze.
But, I’ll pull away.
I can’t stay too long, living in your wise eyes.
I’d get lost,
gazing into your aquamarine pools.

I lose my way
in your jubilance
your wistful ways.

But, you’re more
more than your eyes,
more than your jubilance
your occupation
the people you know
more than me and you, too

I love you
more than the many reasons why.
Your radiance shines beyond skin and bones,
beyond what is seen,
surpassing all that I know.

What a beautiful poem. You know what they say, eyes are the window to the soul.

  They are or at least have to be. I can usually get a guy feeling about people but sometimes their eyes do all the work before the bellyache sets in. I’m sure you’ve been there. Never discount a gut feeling or a look in the eye that just doesn’t seem right. The same goes for good feelings of course 😁😁 I love your comment ! Thank you !!! 😊

    You’re absolutely right. There’s a lot we can tell about someone through their eyes. And they are easy to get lost in with the right person!
