I see your eyes teasing twinkle blue dancing light,
or sparkle proud bright shiny wet
at the corners.
Your hands large, strong, busy building fences;
and fingers thick, stiff, fish hook scarred
with nails chewed short -
rubbing my back and pulling me close.
Is it any wonder my heart swells
like a tulip lifting its face to the sun
and exploding orange red with happiness?

You should like it! The imagery adds up to the mood of the piece and the speaker's tone is so vivid that I feel her exploding through the last three lines. Love the details about the hands, powerful.
