Pools of Love
your eyes speak of endless depths
reflecting beauty beyond this place
gazing into them I lose myself
in fathomless pools of love
~
radiant beauty dancing with life
love seeping from your soul
every word, gesture and touch
pulsing with vibrant life
~
new to such power and vulnerability
my ego pulls back into analysis
what is this openness that doesn’t defend
but gives without reserve
~
your eyes beckon
welcoming me home
diving into your eyes
I find endless pools of love
~
I have shared intimate moments with men and women gazing into their eyes. As many a poet has expressed, our eyes seem to be portals to the soul and other deep places. If we are brave and lucky enough to simply sit and gaze into another’s eyes without words, defense or mind, we may find treasures beyond compare.
May our souls speak the language of love.
writing to freedom 
I love the analogy of one’s eyes being a portal to the person’s soul. This a beautiful message and representation of the power of connection between two individuals – a wonderful reminder to submerge myself in those fathomless pools of love. Well done, Brad 🙂

Thanks Dave. I’m glad my poem resonated for you. Since I don’t have a partner, I’ve been missing that deep connection. Maybe I’ll ask a friend to sit and eye gaze. 🙂

When I didn’t have a partner, I learned to look into the mirror at my own eyes with a look of love. deep love. It was weird at first, but then it got to be comforting, and even fun. To go along with Natalie’s blessing, you might imagine how wonderful it will feel, when the time is right, to gaze into the eyes of another who is worthy of your love.
