Her Eyes

Her eyes,
deep brown with flecks of gold
shimmering jewels in darting sunlight
Sat under a tree in the dying days of summer
my head in her lap
gazing up at her
In awe of her brown eyes
blinking down at me, full of love, full of mercy
her right hand intertwined with mine
her left hand resting on my cheek
She leans down to meet my lips with hers
her closed eyelids rub gently against mine
her inhalations syncopate with my exhalations
She lifts her lips from mine
she smiles
the setting sun forms a halo around her head
two souls behold each other
a love’s ember flickers
underneath a magenta sky.
