WITHIN THESE EYES (new poem)

WITHIN THESE EYES

There is a beauty that shines through

It is a beauty that reflects

Love

Love of life

Love of beauty

Love of freedom

Love to choose

A love to be loved

Adored, cherished

To be loved unconditionally

To be loved unquestionably

A love without doubts, fears or tears

A love to last for years and years

Within these eyes

There speaks a freedom

A freedom to be

To be whatever we choose

Within these eyes

There are choices

Within these eyes

We have voices

Voices that at times that feel like

Screaming and shouting

Within these eyes

So clear and bright

We look to a better outlook

A world ever changing

A world full of possibilities

A world for you and me!

Within these eyes

There is no criticizing,  

There is nothing critical

All there is within these eyes

Is magical, mystical

Within these eyes

There is nothing fake

Make no mistake

Within these eyes

Is the freedom

To run wild and free

Along this coast

Where we love the most

Within these eyes

There you’ll find no lies

But only our ties

Ties to each other

Within your eyes

I see no hidden agenda

Within your eyes

They speak of tenderness and love

Your eyes speak volumes

Voluptuousness

Within your eyes

I see a glistening

Oh babe I’m listening

With these eyes of mine

Within these eyes

I see you across the miles

Miles and miles

Yet I continue to smile and smile

You sailed so far away

Oh the waves are waving

Swaying and swaying

The constant ebb and flow

Oh babe come this way

Within our eyes

Where we despise

The gaping gap

Within these eyes

Is that you keep safe and sound

And come homeward bound

From across the overseas

Where it keeps you from me

So for now my love

Look within these eyes

Especially for you

WE LOOK AT EACH OTHER

WE LOOK AT EACH OTHER

Friends and lovers

We know what is in our hearts

Happiness, love

We call it our blissfulness

We will show the world that you and I belong

We know we belong

A never departure

A lifetime of true love, passion

It can rain but we never care

We laugh and giggle

We wriggle

Wriggle up to each other

We embrace

We trace

Trace the outlines of our bodies

Gently, tenderly

Stroking

We promised to love each other to the end

You are you are

I cannot take my eyes off you

You have me mesmerized

Hypnotized

You want to keep me up all night

Oh my lover never ever stop

Paradise, paradise

This is where I want to stay

Never to go away

Girl I need you!

Girl I want you!

Girl I love you!

Never ever stop loving me

For all eternity

Our bands show our bond

A lovers tryst for ever

A friend is what I have found in you

Oh girl I am never letting you go

Because my heart says so

My heart tells me so

My heart tells me this is never the end

My heart tells me that the moon and stars

Shine in your eyes

Glistening and oh how I listen

I’ll go wherever you go

You are the best part of me!

You are the best for me!

You are my sun and moon

You are my love

If you are okay then I am okay

Everyday

Every night

And I’ll defend you with all my might

Nothing or no one will harm you

I’ll be your hero

Never a zero
