It Is Not With These Eyes That I Have Loved You

My beloved

It may be

that I would never 

get the chance

to look you in the eyes

within this life 

But remember..

It is not with these eyes 

that I have loved you

Nor with my kiss or with this skin

I have loved you

With my way of being without you

With keep on being who we  used to be

and of who we would never become

My beloved

It is not with these eyes 

that I have loved you

Nor with my kiss or with this skin

I loved you in ways

only you would understand

Cause only you have loved me

in the same way tthat I did

Or maybe even more.



Missing you! 



Inspired by Jan's and Cas' 'Miss you poems'
and musing thoughts.

Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 10/23/2014 7:50:00 AM When love is so deep and defies any description carnal abilities may provide then it enters the realm of true and divine love that only few have the chance to witness. It is this kind of love that I discern into your verses my dearest, Charmaine! A wonderful poem worthy of such love! Login to Reply
