Oh Those Eyes

All those that I have loved before and the ones that will come after would never have those eyes Oh those eyes the moon of night those smiling eyes that do not shine yet glow with comfort in my life His unforgotten cheeks a musky scent of blown gardenias treaded softly in my sleep His Spring-kissed skin The fresh sweet taste of last aquatic dew which poured and reached my soul within Without demand I think of him And whoever said that men can never smell like flowers and whoever said that men can never taste like rain Those are the ones who never stretched their arms as far as to behold the one and whisper out his name.

I really like that last stanza. This flows so softly, and there's a hint of loss and melancholy. Nicely written, this was a pleasure to stumble upon today. -G

We find rare love when we have rare love to give my Lady Hawk...you have yours, and you cherish him right and tight. He glows for a love like yours for sure! Your perceptions of his qualities are very enchanting, xool masculinity, and a great poem of love Charma...J.A.B.
