“Talking Eyes Speaking: Listen”

“Talking Eyes Speaking: Listen”

From my mind's eye,
on the other hand,
could I say a dream?
For of it does not seem...
No, it is not a trance but a glance...
Gazing at such wonderful space of spance...
There she is... yes!
never seen her before I attest,
Absolutely, I asked why…
The love of my life did walk by...
Reality step-in, showed her from a sighted distance,
These desires had no resistance…
Sure, I saw her walking down the sidewalk,
looking at her backside, my tongue talk...
No, no, my eyes did not lie...
You can know love as it strolls by...
These dubious eyes of sight said,
“ That she would be mine with no dread”...
Having not have seen her face,
love at first sight I did embrace...
More than 35 years have gone by,
love had to come from the sky...
Whether in a trance this I can say,
she is here in this place everyday,
this place now is her home,
So now, I am never alone....
Wow! I asked, do eyes talk?
Is it that from above love stalk?
They said, “She would be mine”,
I said, “oh how sublime”...
This tells me, love is from above,
and beyond, innate is love,
in mind, spirit, soul to cleave,
This once seen lady shall not leave...
On or after The Will of will, because
that is what love is, on first sight, no lost...
Indubitably to be made right… despite;
these dubious eyes spoke so right...
what is not known...
On the other hand, shown...
