A reality, stark and enigmatic, you pack nicely inside good humor and sarcasm, Colin...great piece...i really enjoyed...10

This is really very sweet. A person is always beautiful when seen through the eyes of love. It's a beauty, though, that's hard to explain or specify, I think. It's not that they have eyes of a certain color, that they're a certain shape or height, or what have you... it is simply that they are they that makes them beautiful and beautiful they are in the most extraordinary way. And that, in and of itself, is beautiful. A heartwarming piece, really. Perception, indeed, colors everything. Christine
Beautiful poem and subject. I hope you keep finding ways to let her know just how much she means to you...best wishes...Kathleen
