Two short love poems

They’re about your eyes

Your Eyes, 1

If I don’t hold your gaze,
perhaps it is because
you are so
beautiful
that I would weep.

That can make small talk awkward.

Your Eyes, 2

If I hold your gaze
perhaps it is because
I want you to see
your beauty
reflected in my eyes

And know
how much
you are
loved.
