No eyes but the eyes
of a woman in love
can flaunt the passion of sky
and shed tears like an innocent child
at the beauty of love’s honesty.

Only the eyes of a woman in love
can angle away from desire
and hide in the corners of normality
the deepest wish of her soul.

No eyes but the eyes
of a woman in love
can see past intolerance  
and embrace the wonder of soul
still here on a maiden voyage.

If I had the eyes of a woman in love
I could speak of the power they hold
to see through time, distance, and space,
and know of God’s given view.

If I had the eyes I may wish to be blind
on this my last and final foray
into the mysterious complexities
of this amazing thing - womanhood!

"Only the eyes of a woman in love
can angle away from desire
and hide in the corners of normality
the deepest wish of her soul."

and so it is...and since you know, then your eyes are those.  As the others have said, this is a beautiful poem.  All yours are!
