She steals my heart with a glance,
here eyes slowly meet mine.
God I have to have her,
how long? or is it only time??

I never saw her true beauty before,
I always want to give her a hug.
But something holds me back,
I think I might be scared of love.

Her sweet innocent smiles,
warm my lonely soul.
I don’t no what’s to happen,
but maybe she could make me whole.

I love talking to her,
she always listens to me.
In fact when I was blind
she made me see.

I know her heart is pure,
and wishes to do right.
She is great but if she was mine,
that I could finally sleep through the night.

Great poem Dean, I was wondering where you had gone   I have 2 suggestions though for the poem. number one would be to fix the little problem area in the last line of the third stanza, i think you forgot the word make in there   My second suggestion is to change the last word into something else. Tight is slang and doesnt sound quite right in poetry. Course, that is only a suggestion, not an order   Just with that word I think the poem loses a little.

Hrm, now that I think about it, how about "then I could again sleep through the night"
for the last line? it hints at not being able to sleep due to thoughts of her, and gives the poem a really nice ending i think.

I'm glad you liked my poem but most of all chic Ii'm gald it inspired you to tell that person you liked that you liked him..I wish i could tellthe girl i talked about in the poem how i feel but I would need confidence for that and thats something i'm lacking even though i have no reason to be. Thanx for your compliments. I'll be sure to read your stuff!!

Hey Deano...  this was great!  I mean different for you but I like it.  I to think you should follow Mistikmans sugg. and change that line. Although,  this was a great work.  I'm glad to see someone has inspired you to write such a great poem.
