That Look

I know that look of yours
that encompassing appraisal
that can withstand the dragon's breath
to determine the real danger

And I know that look of yours
that plaintive resignation
that ask not for mercy
but come what may

And I know that look of yours
those smiling eyes
that dare my advances
and laugh at their inadequacies

But most of all I know that look of yours
a beauty incarnate
sprung from a bounteous soul
that understands the intricacies of love
