Barbara Gorelick Poet Quatrain

Oh, Those Eyes

he had the most piercing blue eyes
so handsome in a rugged way
he shyly introduced himself
the start of that wonderful day

He spoke of visiting  our town
his voice piercing my lonely heart
A cup of coffee and small talk
I loved him from the very start

That was so many years ago
for the loss of him my heart cries
life led us down different paths
but oh love, those piercing blue eyes
