A Breath Away

When evening falls upon me gently his eyes a breath away I become a child rapt intently like awaited gift on Christmas day To peek through windows paled by slate limbal ring that tone the blaze brightly burning with loves desire though unfulfilled and un acquired They hold their gaze a relentless enduring that something somehow will change the clouds of doubt recurrently obscuring obstacles of trust that keep them estranged Rivers laced in liquid blues with silver slivers running through eyes of a soul that won't let go of the dearest love he ever knew Held in hazel and violet ring staring back a soulful thing that neither two would dare refute a love no time nor distance dilute The day of Christ with gift to bare knew sorrows unseen or heard alike this story too has fared so to placid waters deferred And yet no love as true as this could bare the sight no less a gift though for a moment then dismissed the most beautiful eyes I've ever missed

Amazing write!! Lost love visited me more than once in my long life. It can despair or inspire. Choices we make in life so often either haunt or help us. Love this one, will now add it to my fav list. Thanks.

This has a sad anticipation. I like the thought of being but a breath away from realizing our need. It seems many hold their breath past that moment.

Lost loves... Some people we love with all our heart but circumstances and obstacles keep that flower from blooming. A bittersweet anticipation yes... Yet better to have loved and lost then never to have loved them at all. Hope you are well my friend. Hugs
