MULTIFACETED BROWN EYES

As I look in your
Multifaceted brown eyes

I see may things
Tell you I will try

I see…
… twinkling starlight
I see…
… flickering candlelight
I see…
… lady of style
I see…
… your beautiful smile
I see…
… professional dedication
I see…
… motherly devotion
I see…
… relationship confusion
I see…
… women’s intuition
I see…
… change fear
I see…
… the beginning of a tear
I see…
… tears become rain
I see…
… love loss pain
I see…
… matronly joy
as you show…
… pictures of your boy
as you think…
… about your step-girls
I see…
… your world whirls
I see…
… you don’t love him
I feel…
… you can’t leave them
I see…
… the emotional fire
reflections…
… of my own desire
I see…
… our future
unfortunately…
… not together
I know…
… you are a lady
unfortunately…
… above and beyond me.
