A World Away

I found your eyes so randomly, your face did not exist No waist to place my arms around, no lips for me to kiss No hair to lose my fingers in, nor ear to whisper sweet No one to hide within my heart, to fall in love so deep Your image I saw by happenstance, a beautiful vision to see You held me there with just a look, as you stared back at me Your eyes, those lips, that lovely face, my feelings are all for not For you are more than a world away, my beauty from Herat Herat (Herr-Rot) is both an Afghan city and province. Herat City is the capital of Herat Province located in the western portion of Afghanistan. Written in Afghanistan -May 2013

Nice poem...All wrapped up in your own imagination. Nice use of symbols and imagery. Nice use of personification too.
