heaven in her eyes ~ free verse

image ~ Warren Wong

She took off one day
for reasons unknown
and I couldn’t stop her flight mid-air
or make her want to stay
if only to catch the sunrise
seeping into our sheets
or the warm waft of coffee
one mug for her and me
I’d give up forever
like they say in that song
just to see
for one last time
my heaven in her eyes
