Blessed.

I'd never seen the sun shine so bright And a sky so vibrant blue The sweeping meadow green was so lush Until the day I first laid my eyes on you Creation suddenly burst into ultra technicolour I had never seen Be so in awe of such a spectacular picturesque mountain view Sensations sweep over me in such euphoric ecstasy Until the day I first laid my eyes on you Pink cherry flower clusters set against that blue so beautiful Bird song never as sweet painted Ladies dancing came into view On the day I first laid my eyes on you The softest pleasant breeze ever teased and tickled the leaves I'd never seen cooing doves so in love and so true Such beautiful rose petals display their hearts to the sun On the day I first laid my eyes on you The fresh air never felt so good caressing my skin so pleasantly Flowers emit such sweet perfume so heavenly as they did do A rippling stream so crystal clear and clean On the day I first laid my eyes on you Find the end of the rainbow and my pot of gold Float on the clouds and drift so far away as clouds can do The heaven above pours so much love into my empty cup On the day I first laid my eyes on you You breathed new life into my dying soul Fix the pieces together of my broken lonely heart with loves glue Opened up my eyes wide to view a world I never knew existed On the day I first laid my eyes on you. I am blessed in so many ways my heart smiles and the sun shines Every morning In those deep ocean blue eyes,

Hey Peter, it is so great to see you posting so regularly again.. would be nice to see you come to one of my spoken word nights maybe.. Your poem eloquently conveys the transformative power of love to awaken the senses, renew the spirit, and illuminate the world with newfound beauty and meaning. It celebrates the joy of falling in love and the profound connection that can bring light and warmth to even the darkest of days.

Wow.What a wonderful reply, you have always been so kind. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. So appreciated. I'd love to come to the event, but I'm too ill, and housebound. Maybe one day. I don't think the poem is as relevant as it used to be, sadly.Take care my talented friend. Pete.
