In Your Eyes (free read)

Every time I look at you
My heart tightens in my chest
I wonder how it is your essence pours
From your eyes.
 
Those eyes that both plead
And beckon
Are sad and knowing
Distant, yet pierce my heart.
 
How do you tend the garden
Of a woman’s heart?
Daily. Talk, write,
Tell her what’s on your mind.
 
Don’t assume she knows you’re thinking of her.
Friend or lover
All women are the same
They need to know
You care.
 
Like a tightly wound bud
There is promise in her eyes
That will bloom
With nothing more
Than your authenticity.
 
How do you know her heart?
It’s in her eyes.
Look into them
And you will see
A reflection of yourself.
 
What more accurate mirror
Than to view
The harvest of the garden
You have sown
And tended
With your words.
