Smoky Eyes
Yes, I write of love
So that impossible dream
Might one day be true
Will you hear my voice
And will this relentless climb
Find me in your heart?
Listen to loving words
As I look in your smoky
Eyes where my hopes are
But I am so scared
Lest you order me away
That risk I must take
Enough pressure now
I can tell that you are mine
I’m sure that’s a nod
And I fought so hard
It just so happens that you
Wanted me as well
Well isn't it sweet? Love requited.
ReplyDeleteJust because it sounds too good to be true, doesn't mean it's not true...
ReplyDeleteLove, sweet returned love. Believe it, and nurture it.
ReplyDeletealways worth the risk when you get that nod!
ReplyDeleteGood ol' love. Great poem.
ReplyDeleteIt's always good when the wanting is mutual!

We always hope our love will be returned, but the cynic in me says that's where the next round of troubles begins! ;-)
ReplyDelete...and I feel your love is unconditional one...~ nice to meet you,Oldegg
ReplyDeleteFalling into the abyss of love starts with that one step. The free fall is exceptionally fulfilling! Always choose to take the plunge! Loving it, O.E.
ReplyDeleteI love this because it simply speaks from the heart.
