Love Poem: In a Certain Eye

In a Certain Eye

What is beauty so ill defined
quantity of what matter?
Yet when I look in your eye,
wild lustrous eye of Mauve,
I am struck dumb with longing
to touch beauty, to be beautiful.

Again, what beauty?
Shall I dim the light?

We are one spirit, human.
Sometimes I see beauty in every
man and woman.  Sometimes
beauty is contained in a single
point of light, in a certain eye.
