At the Sight of Love

I can see them
in darkness and daylight
staring into me
shining brightly with
such magnificence

Those twinkling eyes:
is it the the sun?
burning and burning
I am not so afraid,
I love the mesmerising looks
that lock me within

They communicate
The language of silence
a rhythm of words
as we read in mind
without the movement of lips
slowly and slowly..
till it absorbs the brain through the heart
it catches the attention

As I watch the world around
in dim light and candle-light
the rays from those eyes
sending out flashes into inner eyes
till I close my eyes
they go on staring into mine..
