EYES

This is an old poem I wrote a while ago. It was posted at one point in time, but I took it down to put in a book I never finished writing. Ran accross it and decided to post it.

EYES

I caught the eye of one who's lost
Let me take your hand
Take you to a place we both long to go
I caught a glimpse of my place
In your eyes
I believe you saw it in mine
Not a word spoken
The type of silence broken
Only by the ruffle of your body shifting
Closer to mine
My tears weld
While yours rolled down your face
We both imagined that place
And if it truly were the same
We'd soon go together.
How your imperfections seem perfectly placed
Reflection of my needs
So perfectly misplaced
In you.
These moments spent closely in tuned
To you.
Where does the time go?
I'd spend it all
For you.
Through our troubled times
The origin of your tears reflected
More then words could tell.
This bitter sweet silence as we lay
Even these sad times, I'd rather spend
With you.
Let me take your hand
As long as you'll have me
I'll wipe your tears
And live to keep them away.
I saw the place we both long to go
And mine, in the reflection of your eyes.
I believe you saw it in mine.
