Eyes

The most important conversation you'll have
are with your eyes

when they nervously take a glimpse at her
for the very first time
or the titillation in her
when you clutch her in your arms,
with a grip so tight.

On days when you're angry,
they will be bloodshot and she'll cry.
But later when they whimper
and are full of tears
she will know what true apologies look like.

And when one of you is dying
in the duskiness
of a cold stinging night,
Your eyes will meet hers to say things
that words can't describe.
