Angel Eyes

Pain I felt
like a thousand stabs
On distended abdomen
the doctor said
appendicitis, its burst
tears in my eyes
I closed them
to fate I go

A gentle voice
a soothing caress
open your eyes
Look at me
I gazed into his eyes
light brown eyes
deep into my soul
the iris contracted

Gentle he receded
Into the dark
I slept in comfort
as they cut me up
Wake up wake up
someone said
I opened my eyes
but he was gone

Look at me
Into my eyes
the window to my soul
he whispers still
Long ago and far away
the now and then
he lives still
here and there
eyes, deep dark brown.
