Maryam Jameela Haniff Poet Quatrain

Blind Love

Blind Love

He saw her bangles
he heard them chime
he looked at her
but hid behind.

He glimpsed her earrings
as she danced past
he looked at her
but turned away fast.

He saw her hair
as it blew, across her face
he heard her footsteps
as she walked with grace.

He saw how she did
everything with style
how badly he wanted 
to share a smile.

The words " I love you"
were at the tip of his tongue
but he was shy
he was afraid, he'd be turned down.

So he looked at her once more
then, sadly he turned away
not knowing
for him, she felt the same way.

John Rhinem January 27, 2009 at 11:40 PM Smile-I loved this vivid and image filled write of Yours dear lady! It held a soft tenderness about it-which I would say, would be but a reflection of "Your Heart" I believe--And I could see You within its setting-music, dance floor, vibrant crowd and reflective lights aglow? Smile-And You looked so lovely it seemed! Very pretty write Maryam!!!-"Warmth and Love To You Always, John!"-Bye Dear Lady!:)
