The Color In Her Eyes Speak

The Color Of Her Eyes


I sent her my all, my very best
Rainbow flowers wrapped in true-
expressions of love and tenderness,
all the goodness she was due!

I sent her, gentle touch each day
An echo of my eternal burning fire-
so hot, so hot it melts the sky,
birthing each day great Love anew!

I hold her, with hands that need
Kind that knows no mortal bounds-
soft petals on this wild flower,
saving both hearts that so bleed!

I hold her, in joy we are blessed
Life sings us a paradise realm-
where each moment fills our heart,
on a ship with Eternity at the helm!

The color of her eyes told me all!

Robert J. Lindley -No date, a rewrite


Note , Very old poem written when I was 19
years old, for my first wife.This morn decided
 to shorten and rewrite a few verses.
This is the resulting poem. A combo of the old
and the new-- just as life presents us!

She lives in a city about 60 miles from me now. I never contact her as faithfulness to my darling wife now, forbids any such temptation! Yes, was the deepest love at one time but life sends us ever onward!
