Beauteous Eyes

The stars shimmer in the cold darkness –

Like sparkling diamonds on black velvet;

So far yet bright in the emptiness –

Like Venus shines – the evening planet;

All this and more I see in your eyes –

A planetarium of wonder;

To gaze at them is to fly the skies –

Body soaring and free to wander;

The life shines through so brilliantly –

It is palpable – it is a gem;

So rare and cut so masterfully –

What a priceless, beauteous item;

Each time I look at you I am moved –

Such a beauty God should have approved.
