A Valentine Poem

 

Your Eyes

Your eyes reached out and grabbed my heart

The first time that we met

I was sure they were as big

As any eyes could get

They spoke to me of trust and joy

And places they had seen

They bragged of mysteries they'd solved

With intellect so keen

They filled me in on days gone by

On dangers beaten down

They told tall tales of past defeats

And times you'd won the crown

They whispered both of hunger

And of overflowing cup

They jabbered on so ceaselessly

I wished they'd just shut up.
