Island Eyes

Brian Momberg 1964 (WI)

Your island eyes are the most
beautiful I've ever seen
They're vulnerable and never mean
I never want to see them cry
Tears falling down like rain from pain

Your island eyes see right through me
Their colors so true they reflect your inner beauty
I love that their value is to never lie
I feel blessed when you look out and into mine
