Loving Eyes

Loving eyes that burn to see
as my desire holds fast to thee.
So much yearning to be free,
Oh, how his passion taketh me!

Flames of longing blazing away,
Consuming my being every day.
No poetic words needed to say;
A secret love not for display.

Loving eyes that oft I miss
devouring me with a silent kiss.
My heart beats to the sound of his,
A tuneful melody in pure bliss.

Move as one in harmonic motion,
Stirring passion with devotion.
Evokes unbridled emotion -
Love more potent than any potion.

Admittedly, I'm a bit late to the dance on this one. As far as compliments go, not only the form but the words themselves. I truly found to be a muse. Appreciating, greatly your permission to allow me to respond to this beautiful work. It pleases me greatly that you approved of my after-poem an homage to this one. Per your instruction I have posted it in response. I took the liberty of adding in the poet's notes. A direct reference to this poem.... Warmly A.S.

Christina, no doubt it's tough to deal with such strong feelings at they don't turn on and off with a switch. Of course, when we get to know someone really well, we might not feel the same way. It's really hard to know since relationships based on one-way passion don't usually end up getting very far. Isn't it shame we can't control other people? I know my poetic idealistic mind has been devastated by this, but it all ends up just fine when we find the right one (if we're lucky).
