Dancing In Your Eyes I saw you across the room; blonde hair tossed from the wind and you laughed as you shook your head casting off the remnants of the downpour outside. You turned towards me and the lights danced in your brown eyes sending a thousand messages in a single glance. A slow song played as you reached for my hand and led me to the dance floor pulling me closer until I felt like an extension of you. The beating of my heart keeping tempo to the rhythm of the music as I danced, lost in your eyes, while the world blurred and disappeared around us. And tonight, a lifetime lived in only short months, kneeling, you smile at me as in your outstretched hand you shakingly present a diamond offering and your breath stills while you wait for an affirmation of our love that so openly dances, reflected in your eyes, then tumbles out in liquid mirrors at the simple word, “Yes.” What lies behind us and lies before us are small matters compaired to what lies within us. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson |

Such a simple word... that at times can mean more than a thousand others. *sigh* Well-rendered m'friend, romance in a whispered breath.  C |

an affirmation of our love that so openly dances, reflected in your eyes then tumbles out in liquid mirrors Hoot, Sometimes your choice of words and the way you weave them together simply takes my breathe away...this is one of those times. |

And tonight, a lifetime lived in only short months, kneeling, you smile at me as in your outstretched hand you shakingly present a diamond offering and your breath stills while you wait for an affirmation of our love that so openly dances, reflected in your eyes, then tumbles out in liquid mirrors at the simple word, “Yes.” Now this is a sweet poem to read early in the morn and I agree with "da man" Balladeer 100%. Beautiful read this morn. |

Ruth, Glad I caught up with this one. This was beautiful and so full of love my friend. I wish you and Rodger the best . . . you deserve it. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
