Your dark eyes corner wise

people in their tracks,

as with grace lent from Audrey,

calm dictate distracts

but not too far, your command charge

is backed up with compassion

for all who suffer needlessly

your dream is my extraction,

but ALL yours,

just humor me, just say you'll promise this,

that regardless of the suffering your dark eyes will witness,

you'll make your best attempt, always,

at holding to the good

in this life because with this, is this truth;

let those dark eyes never miss the goodness that is

YOU .....
