BEAUTIFUL EYES

Fine eyes -

That's the first thing I saw.

A ready smile,

As you gave me my change.

Laughing eyes -

A talk after work.

I told you everything.

It was easy.

Beautiful eyes -

I fell in love

That first night.

The night that went forever...

Grim eyes -

The tale you told,

Genetically modified...

Then you laughed it off - a joke.

Proud eyes -

For a beautiful son.

A fine strong boy;

Our family complete.

Closed eyes -

Where did you go?

Why did you leave?

Was it me?

Missing eyes -

I had to go on

If only for our son.

It was so hard without you.

Dark eyes -

The phone rings

"... not Penny, it's Tinga"

"She's in hiding..."

Sombre eyes -

I respond in anger.

"Don't call here again."

Penny, where are you?

Bright eyes -

Case, our son.

"I want mummy's story".

The Princess - her name is Tinga...

Fearful eyes

Shock - I'm afraid.

Things are moving too fast.

What can I do?

Tearful eyes -

We run.

Who are these strangers

You know so well?

Tired eyes -

I know I must deal

But it's all so hard to believe.

No, I can't lose you again...

Sad eyes -

Your tears wrench my heart.

I'm losing you again -

Courage, heart, courage.

Crying eyes -

We had so little time.

I must keep going, if only for our son.

My heart is breaking... again...

Fine eyes -

The time we were together

I wouldn't give up

Not a minute... not a second...

Of your beautiful eyes.
