Laura Breidenthal Poet Free verse

Searching

I love laughing with you, 
The mirrors in your gentle eyes reflecting a foreign smile
A smile only you can conjure with your awkward charm
I can see playfulness, desire, and hesitance fluctuate in your pupils

And the silent moments when we do touch,
I bask in the feelings of magic trepidation
I search your thoughts, and you wander mine
Sometimes we beam, when we discover a mutual thought 

You try to cover your face when the laughter escapes,
But you cannot escape my gaze,
My observational craze
Always craving the next anticipating haze

When laughter dies,
The trialing and testing begin
And I try to remain sane where saneness cannot thrive

That is when you hold on to me
Your hand slowly clasps mine
In this moment, you chase my thoughts,
Searching for the need in my eyes
I know you find it, for I have found yours

Duke Beaufort October 24, 2015 at 8:15 PM Sounds like a connection. That can be good. You have such observational power. No one can be there all the time. We get distracted sometimes. We can only try to be there part-time. I knew a person who told me he always tried to give 100% attention to his wife when they were together. He was a better man than I. I get distracted--a lot.

Laura Breidenthal October 24, 2015 at 9:43 PM Haha, well, the first love spark is a thrill, when you are getting to know someone beyond just being friends, suddenly we're all paying a little more attention to things otherwise lost in time... I love to observe just as much as I love to dive right in. ~Laura

Justin Bordner October 20, 2015 at 8:31 PM Eyes of desire find the same heart...this lovely poem teaches that exploration is the joy of love Laura. "I search your thoughts and you wander mine, sometimes we beam, when we discover a mutual thought..." J.A.B. Laura Breidenthal October 20, 2015 at 9:08 PM Thank you Justin.. I always beam at your thoughts. Your feedback is always treasured. ~Laura

Paul Callus October 20, 2015 at 12:28 PM "Searching" is a vital part of getting to know and 'feel' a person. No wonder you write "I search your thoughts, and you wander mine". Again, thoughts are chased, searching for a need....which is there and does not allude you. ~ Regards // paul Laura Breidenthal October 20, 2015 at 12:34 PM Thanks sweet Paul! Happy to receive feedback from you! ~Laura
