First Sight

You stood where you stood,
Unassuming, unaware,
I stood where i did,
In a helpless stare.

Then the forces that be conspired,
The sun grew bolder,
The breeze retired.

The raven curtain was finally drawn,
How i wish i could go on.

With words i have always had a way,
To my tune i could always make them sway,
Till the innocence beaming from those eyes impaled me,
It was the first time my beloved words failed me.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

GREAT!!! I like the flow of this short verse. It's like a performer in front of the crowd, or a person speaking making a speech aloud for the 1st time. James :)
