I was lost in the depths
   of my loneliness
Drifting on a darkened
   sea
The light of day a
   fleeting hope
And love a lost
   memory

Then I saw your eyes
   and shadows brightened
Laughter echoed through
   the dark
I saw your eyes
   so full of passion
Shining softly through
   my heart

And sunlight shimmered
   in the darkness
Like a light across
   the sea
Bringing me home out
   of the shadows
Where you are waiting
   patiently

I saw your eyes
   like loves own beacon
Calling out across my
   pain
I saw your eyes
   with joy uplifting
And I know how much
   I've gained

A beautiful poem, Paula! The eyes are the mirrors of the soul. And if the soul is beautiful and full of love, who can resist?!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

A wonderful poem of rescue and reckoning!
Mmm, mmm, mmm!  I do love to read about finding the best things in life.  And, I believe, love is THE best thing.
This flowed beautifully and held me from title to end.
