Dreaming of You

In this sea of memory I lay stranded on passing moments, The ebb and flow of time witnessing my awe of your presence... There's no forgetting how your eyes have penetrated me. How I stand there, naked and humbled by your incessant beauty, Wondering in melancholy how you've conquered me so gently; Though I lean not on mine understanding of what all this could mean, I fall back into pieces when I see through what you seem. And so in vain do I fathom, and utter a prayer unto these seas 'May there not be any one thing that could ever be as sweet As those opaline eyes... that made me yours that very night...' Now... oh how my heart cries to quench that thirst for your face And yet the last since we've met was only a matter of days. I am bound by the chain of thought that makes room for only you. In the heaven of your eyes where I am captive and captivated, How can I not be lost fishing for love my dear beloved? This sea, it's stars and skies... are all there in those eyes... Even if I were stronger and could turn against the tides of this memory, I'd only wake from my sleep, but not from the sweetness of my misery.

Captivating, Cris! In the presence of true beauty, many feel "humbled." And the way you describe her eyes -- well, let's just say I wish we all had someone like you who saw us this way. Beautiful writing! Love, Carolyn
