The One True Prize

a poem about eyes in dreams

How can I know

If these dreams are lies

If I'm unable

To see your eyes

If you will not

Remove your disguise

How can I know

Just where the truth lies

If I can't look

Into your eyes

If I cannot see

The one true prize

Before the dream dies

The eyes are the windows to the soul. If you can’t gaze into these eyes of hers in your dreams how will you ever know. A romantic mystery here Jim. Quite lovely.

Interesting idea that so often appears in romance but is seldom treated as well as this.
