Happier Eyes and Kinder Hearts

There are no happier eyes than yours, there's no kinder heart than yours; my huge universe is built on these, my passion is an incurable disease! Happier eyes and kinder hearts rhyme perfectly in any song... then sing it for love, then sing it for joy; you'll be amazed for how long it will stay on lips that taste happiness... while arms hug tenderly! I've been loving others for the wrong reasons, did I ever abuse you to fulfill my selfish desires? Every touch you felt was a thrill, every smile was brighter than stars! There are no happier eyes than yours, there's no kinder heart than yours; I may seem hard in looks, but kind in tender emotions! Happier eyes and kinder hearts rhyme perfectly in any song, then sing it for love, then sing it for joy; you'll be amazed for how long it'll stay on lips that taste happiness... while arms hug tenderly! Isn't the concept of men who hold back tears an unfair perception? I have cried silently not showing more sensitive eyes, how much harm I did to myself hiding in shame, not letting tears fall and reveal my true self? Happier eyes and kinder hearts rhyme perfectly in any song, sing it for love, sing it for joy; you'll be amazed how long it'll stay on lips that taste happiness''' while arms hug tenderly! [This poem can be sung to the tune of Memory from the Broadway Musical, " Cats ". I haven't written the music yet. Most likely it will be a crossover: a pop/country/rock song.]

A tough climb that manhood claims ere replacing the boy once tendered. Returns, in and of itself, seldom visits the shell but tenders the kernels' taste as memorable, necessitates its refrain. A remarkable piece that I truly enjoyed, Andrew! Peace and joy my friend, -- *One note: there's a blog re your title via PS home page -- Aloha!
