"WHAT I SEE"

by
Bill Charles

~~~~
I can express no greater love
towards a gracious woman,
than writing in words
the way I see her,
in my eyes…

And my eyes will never see
anything more beautiful,
than when I take
just one look,
at you…

Evening Charisma,

Thank you for your reply, and I'm glad that you like the lines. Thanks again.


Evening jwesley,

I wrote this with inner feelings, and I am glad that it came out the way it did. Thank you for your kind reply.


Evening Kit,

Yes, I do agree, the eyes do say it all. They are the pathway to the soul, and I believe that I have seen it. Thanks for stopping by, and for the most gracious reply.

Good morning Sunny from Alaska,

I am happy that you thought so highly of this one. I usually don't do free verse, but I have about eight of them that I have completed and will be posting them. And you my good friend, hope you're doing well.
