Golden Eyes

The light of your smile
seared my soul
like a sword,
tearing down my
cherished walls,
and all my defenses
crumbled at my feet
leaving me weak and
vulnerable
but open to the
ecstasy of your kiss.

Golden eyes caress
as they speak of love,
without a word
they show me how
you feel, making
my heart miss a beat
and my throat tighten
as I fight back
the tears that threaten
for the unbelievable
beauty of your love.
