Favorite Stranger

When I see my unknown love approach 
Already formed impressions on the soul 
Observable emerged, etched on memory forever
Imprinted there, stretched across the universe
Exposed to star light reflected in your eyes 
Emotions surface though we do not touch
But pass by with simple smiles and a pleasant nod
Goodnight my love 
Oceans will continue blue to fill the great beyond
Content to roll along in humble calm the same
Taking you away
Your reach is farther than the stars for me
What little time we had together was well spent

This is such a beautiful poem, that imagery you use, stars, see, light, I love that so much, and also use it myself so often. The poem sounds a little sad, and so full of longing, very loving.

Hi Darren, Thank you so much. The poem is sad. I am not. I'm glad you discovered the image I was reaching for. I appreciate your comments. Have a great day. Earl
