ONE LOOK

A mistress of emotions
Understanding the deepest of needs
To be understood
At levels so many never comprehend

Strumming the strings of the heart
A knowing in those experienced eyes
Seeing beyond the painted exterior
Such a shy sweet heart beats underneath

Like a cats eyes of expression
Staring into the night
Never breaking the gaze
Caught between the darkness of night
Into the light of day

Bringing a new awareness
Of all that you never saw before
Somehow this one opened up the doors
Illuminating that which cannot be seen

Touching the heart
An emotional ache from deep within
Finally being held and touched again
A plethora of feeling springs forth
One look and you come undone

From another place
You shall find the face
Of the one who knows how to really touch
Getting through with tenderness

Wrapping you up within her unending embrace
Only to face a new day
With more understanding
Yet falling from grace from what is common
For it was the only way to experience the extraordinary
