Searching For a Sign

The wine was the finest
  cuisine smooth as creme
The atmosphere buoyant
  garnished with a moonbeam

She searched his eyes for a sign
  those deep pools of blue
Tonight, of all nights, iced over
  flashing, 'I can never love you'

Sad... so sad. Lost love is so painful... Or unrequited love. God bless you. You're a wonderful poet, friend

Maybe that is why I've always preferred men with brown eyes (David's are brown, btw) - those icy blue eyes so sharp -

Never thought about the difference between men's eye color before, Michelle. Thanks for calling it to my attention. Best always, Gershon
