In times past I've gazed in eyes Brown, hazel, greens and blues Laughing, sensual, serious eyes Many of varying hues For brief periods I swam in some Romanced, danced, and pranced in some Even had heart lanced by some Possessed by beauties called handsome But long before I knew your eyes I knew your words so kind And I think I'd loved you then Even if I were quite blind Yet words fell then like showers Gentle rain down from the sky Our conversations warming We could make each other cry With laughter and with passion We learned each other's ways Moments turned to hours Hours turned to days Before the first clear photograph Of your eyes caught my view I saw you as a woman Knew I was in love with you I'd heard your voice so soft and sweet Knew I'd caught your heart But we're not free, yet sallied on We knew it wasn't smart Still there was turning back I thought, the lock still had a key But in that picture eyes that shone I knew I could never be free Sparkles of gold around the rims Love that shined clear through More beautiful they are to me Than eyes of any blue Oh I could wax poetically About your smile or lips Or how your music on the keys Comes from your fingertips The luscious curves your body makes The neck I dream to kiss But the eyes I love now more than all Seems I was born for this Yes the words, they touch my heart Yes they always will Words that tell of love denied Our broken hearts they fill Still when alone and sharing bed I'm deep inside your eyes I'm dreaming of that far off day We'll go flying through the skies Unencumbered free to be The 'us' that fills my dreams And I will then see first hand The eyes that fill my schemes ~You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning. ~ Billy Wilder |

Bill--They say the eyes are the gateway to the soul...so perhaps you have found your soulmate...you have written your heart in this lovely poem. |

This sounds like a premonition more than a fantasy. And it is truly amazing how you can come to know a person before you even meet them. This poem is lovely Liz |

I think we have a new "King" of romance in Passions. Got it nailed, my friend, got it nailed! Corinne |
