Note: "light and eyes" was a common endearment in Roman love poetry, lux et oculi.

You are my light and eyes.
I see myself young and new
with eyes of a lover
polishing me shiny,
filling the cracks,
mending the rips,
healing my aches.
I stand under a new sun,
washed in fresh light.
Reforged under your gentle hammers.
Tempered like new steel,
hot from the furnace
alive in a shower
of sparks and white fire,
refitted and ready to go.

I couldn't help but notice there was some hammering goin' on....



This reminded me of a bit, of The Wizard of Oz--the preparations before their presentation to him...

Interesting!
