Those Exotic Enchanting Eyes and Long Dark Curls

Those Exotic Enchanting Eyes And Long Dark Curls


Found you there, heart resting on beautiful cloud
with a pretty so great, you had to be proud.
Those exotic enchanting eyes and long dark curls
all of you so sweet, my mind fell into swirls.

Deepest trepidation when I dared to ask you out
your, "of course", made heart and soul shout.
Joy rained down back in those blessed miracle days
with my saying, "I love you", a thousand ways!

You filled my sails, sending my world into motion
flying to you, I crossed the Pacific ocean.
Tender and sweet, moment of our first embrace
dear love found, my mind holds every trace.

Once my days were sad and filled with dark curses
now they shine while writing you verses!
Future promises, in only death, shall we ever part
that promise sings so poetic in my heart! 

Found you there, heart resting on beautiful cloud
with a pretty so great, you had to be proud.
Those exotic enchanting eyes and long dark curls
all of you so sweet, my mind fell into swirls.

Robert J. Lindley, 12-19-2004

Note- A poem I wrote to my darling wife after only
nine days as husband and wife. A private poem that 
she has so graciously allowed me to post.
In my humble opinion, my best ever love poem.
Which is why I wanted it posted here.

So beautiful and sincere is this, Robert. My kabayan is fortunate to be the muse for such flowing verses. The title captured my attention, which I have correctly assumed to be for her. 7 and fav! hugs to both of you!
