I found an eyelash on your cheek 
It perched there like a dream 
I couldn’t take my eyes away 
From that hypnotising scene

The beautiful imperfection of
That eyelash out of place 
Was also the exquisiteness 
Of nature’s untamed grace 

You looked at me as I looked at
The fallen angel on your cheek 
It fluttered on broken wings like 
Back into heaven it would leap 

And then you smiled that special smile 
Where your eyes light up with mirth
The eyelash took a leap of faith 
Becoming one with the pulsing earth 

I found an eyelash, it had strayed 
Onto your sun warmed skin 
It filled my heart with wistfulness 
With love and with longing.
