I look into these eyes
and truly try to see
just what it is that you see
in these mirrors to me
and the view still escapes
my deep study some stare
I know its beyond physical
and yet its this same physical
that somehow feeds off
the illusive beauty within
are there levels of humanness
and those that go beyond
does God only allow only certain
viewers to see
and others but a glance passed
what the surface reveals
you see beyond the tangible me
the acceptable laughing face
that I present to the world
and it was you as well
who shoved that burdensome curtain aside
to peer at the real me within
and its from this honest loving appraisal
I find that I can not ever walk away
for you chartered a loving passage way unto
my very soul
clever captain that you are
you did not realize with this journey made
you sealed your own beloved fate
that of which is
you and me
'Forever Anchored'
in this harbor
