Notes About The Poem

When He Looks Into Ther Eyes

He thought he knew where love originated…
where in the body it lies
He was sure it was in the heart…
until he looked into her eyes.

He thought he knew how time and memory relate to one another…
He thought he knew…and yet
when he looks into her eyes he can’t remember a time before they met.

He thought he knew where his life was heading
but it wasn’t until their two lives crossed
until he looked into her eyes…that he knew he had been lost.

He thought he new about happiness and joy
but much to his surprise…
He only began to understand them
when he looked into her eyes…

Her eyes have taught him about life
with every joy they shared
with every sorrow they overcame….
and he hopes after a lifetime of looking into his
her eyes feel the same.
