FJ Thomas Poet Rhyme

Eternity In Your Eyes

Aware; instincts suffused
A feeling I've known
Complete; never diffused 
Before birth twas sown

Before planets aligned 
time had bound our hearts
Moulded, deepened, refined 
Fused; no end no start 

Evolved beyond lifetimes 
Years measured in blinks
Eons blending nightimes
Eternity shrinks

Others wanting taboo
answers to life's "why's"
Myself? Without question
...it lay in your eyes

Eileen Manassian February 19, 2018 at 7:07 AM Absolutely thrilling, Shadow. :) Your work is always so beautiful. I'm sorry I haven't been around.

Silent One February 15, 2018 at 8:20 AM This is really romantic and eternal love that has lasted through time.. You did this contest very well.. I am following you, but your poems do not come up on my poets I follow list.. Nor am I receiving notifications when someone comments on my poems.. how strange.. FJ Thomas February 15, 2018 at 11:17 AM Hi S1, I get no notifications either. But to be honest PS used to send too many so I used to turn them off. I may have turned them off again. But thank you so very much. Tom Cunningham February 15, 2018 at 10:52 AM Glad I spotted this S.O. I used to get POTD notification and box is ticked but has stopped for some reason.Bugs in the software I suppose.
