Those eyes
I've realized
Have haunted me
My whole life…
They have seeped
Into my dreams
Crept into my
Fantasies.
Those Sky Blue
Eyes.
I'm not talking
East coast sky blue
Washed out
With humidity…
Nor the pale blue
Sky that creeps
Up until only
Directly above
You looks true
Blue…
I am talking about
The sky blue
Of the expansive
Colorado sky
At 10,000 feet…
A sky blue to
Make the rest
Of the world
Jealous…
That sky blue…
In her eyes.
The mantle of
Heaven's protective
Dome…
For the color
Of her beautiful
Eyes…
Windows to
Her soul.
I wish I could say
She was only
One woman…
She was the nurse
When I was two
She was Wonder Woman's
Eyes when I was
Five,
And Damia's eyes
When I was 13…
And the eyes of
My own character's
I was role playing
When I was 23
And the unborn
Twin girls
Just a scant
Few weeks ago
I dreamed of…
THOSE sky blue
Eyes…
They haunt me…
Follow me
And sometimes
They are
Me…
