All My Love Has Been Blind
By: Noah Eaton
2/2/06

More than ever I feel I know you,
each time I follow through,
each time you escape my field of view.
You always left me with a passing glance,
in your interpretive dance,
and I pay my wishes,
like some annuity in advance.

...hearing you breathing,
breathing in the background...

Finding my way to where you are,
often leaving everything else behind,
all time out of mind,
seeing you clearly from so afar,
but all my love has been blind,
all your love has been blind...

Peeking straight up from my balustrade,
staring into deep space,
tracing your special star with bobbin lace.
I tear up, lovestruck,
relieved that nothing has changed,
cause your star glistens all the same,
where I vacation every evening,
to your sweet, rejuvenating embrace...

...hearing you breathing,
breathing in the background...

Finding my way to where you are,
often leaving everything else behind,
all time out of mind,
seeing you clearly from so afar,
but all my love has been blind,
all your love has been blind...

And after all this time,
I’ve loved you more every day,
staring through the window blind,
I hope your heart doesn't feel betrayed,
everytime you wake...


Finding my way to where you are...
.
.
...often leaving everything else behind,
all time out of mind,
seeing you clearly from so afar...
.
.
...but all my love has been blind,
all your love has been blind...

And after all this time,
I’ve loved you more every day,
staring through the window blind,
I hope your heart doesn't feel betrayed.
And after all this time,
I’ve loved you more every day,
staring through the window blind,
I hope your heart doesn't feel betrayed...

...everytime you wake...

What a treat! I got to read two of your poems today!

I found the following lines so wistful, and yet ever so beautiful.

"Peeking straight up from my balustrade,
staring into deep space,
tracing your special star with bobbin lace.
I tear up, lovestruck,"

I hope your dream girl takes her blinders off and finds you before someone else does! It will be your DG's loss if she takes too long!

"where I vacation every evening,
to your sweet, rejuvenating embrace...

...hearing you breathing,
breathing in the background..."

I could FEEL the beat of this song.  And I am in awe of the above lines, especially your original use of "vacation" ... very clever.

always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same
