Blue Eyes
A gaze that undoes every careful defense.
With every single look, deep inside I must sigh.
Each and every time, I see those beautiful blue eyes.
Stunning orbs of power, windows to a soul.
A true and perfect sprit, of which I truly know.
You share with me a smile, a warmth and overpowering glow.
My heart begins to melt, my knees have already begun to bow.
By now I can hear my heart, trying to leap right form my chest.
The only thought I can engender is
m so glad that we have met!
The danger of your beauty, is that I think I have forgotten my own name.
No matter the course ahead of me, I know I will not be the same.
For your soul has again touch mine, and has sparked a fire deep within.
My spirit feels rejuvenated, I feel that I can win
A battle that I fought now, for more than enough time
An encounter with myself, that has kept me form the divine.
I now feel freed from its grasps, I want to know the rest of you.
Of that angelic presence you carry, that has torn my demons in two
For as of late not a day goes by, without me having several thought of your
Beautiful blue eyes and that shining smile that I adore.
Even when I close my eyes at night, you face is still before my mind.
A smile creeps upon my lips. For a reason to love again did I just find?
So if I am so lucky, to spend the rest of time with you.
And I seem all sorts of flustered, and like I'm running out of breath too
Just know I overwhelmed, by the goddess who stands before me,
Feeling unworthy of your greatness, and just knowing of what will be.
“With every single look, deep inside I must sigh.”
