Beautiful

Her stormy grey eyes
must flash in your mind
twenty times daily
Lightning of the soul
striking into your heart
with an unprecedented force
How lucky you are
to have been smitten
so violently with love
How quickly you were
taken in by her strength
of such magnitude

Yet I hope sometime
her eyes will hush
and softly glimmer
The calm of the storm
will roll in when
you least expect it
And when you turn
to look a second time
marveling at their tenderness
You'll find a hint of green
and discover there
the beauty of me
