Spell Of The Eyes
Bewitching eyes to waken a saint from a trance
wielded at will to control a man;
behold the eyes that pierce through
the strongest of minds - imagine one can.
Strong enough to cause a missing beat
of the heart so calm and brave;
behold the eyes that can cause a flutter
of even inside the realms of the grave.
Language of the sight so subtly expressed
yet easily understood by any;
each expression making clear the pain
so carefully hidden yet bearing testimony.
Behold the bewitching eyes that reveal a story untold
of a touching yet painful past;
each glimpse revealing inner strength
that endured life of a woman so chaste.
