Eye Loves
He never thought; tho skilled in the art,
how anyone could understand.
And so he kept his wayward heart,
hidden in the palm of his hand.
Going back to a lonely bed,
not comforted by the clock.
The tormented life that he had led,
a mind that raced nonstop.
I have seen this; in my mind,
the tossing and turning each night.
Waiting for some open heart's sign,
with promise to feel the light.
So; he trudged thru weary days,
struggling to breathe.
Not knowing peace; but confusing ways,
deciding not to believe.
She always dreamed; tho not out loud,
of that special kiss.
Every time she sang for crowds,
something was amiss.
The social life that she had known,
was coming to an end.
And every night she slept alone,
needing more than a friend.
I have watched this; I have prayed,
trying to help her believe.
As she struggled to just stay brave,
wearing her heart on her sleeve.
So; she worked faithfully,
to keep the wolf from the door.
Not having much security,
but she knew there had to be more.
One day she met this stranger;
his merriment sprinkled with glee.
But in his pretty eyes she saw danger,
and whispered,"what's happening to me?"
From here on out she couldn't turn aside;
not that she even wanted to,
her feelings could not be denied,
she had to think this through.
Meanwhile; his heart was enraptured,
though he never said a word.
Her cute little smile; his lost soul captured,
others thought this absurd.
She brought him chips; a coke, and seemed
to just always be there.
They felt like they had met in a dream,
they had so much to share.
So; by and by through much duress,
their secret could keep, no longer
Late one night,they had to confess,
together they were stronger.
And now their days are blue skies;
for sweet love they have found,
and she is lost inside blue eyes,
and forever he, in brown.
"Happy Anniversary"
to 2 people who HAVE FOUND the magic..
I LOVE YOU BOTH FOREVER...
Mom
