In your eyes where shadows stray, <br /> by heartbreak they were cast <br /> you look at me through lowered lash, <br /> through shadows of your past, <br /> And when i gently take your hands, <br /> our fingers soft entwine, <br /> I'll kiss you softly on your cheek <br /> and whisper, girl be mine <br /> I place my fingers on your chin <br /> and gently lift your face, <br /> your dark eyes looking into blue, <br /> you search and find a grace, <br /> I hold your gaze and smile at you, <br />you smile a soft reply, <br /> I kiss the starlight tears away, <br />that stumble from your eyes <br /> So warm, your body moulds to me, <br /> you rest your cheek to mine <br /> You whisper words so tenderly, <br />your words my heart define <br /> I feel the softening of your soul, <br /> as you hold me tighter still <br /> I feel my heartbeat step with yours, <br /> and know it always will.<br /><br />Laurie hill<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-your-eyes-37/
