“CARING EYES”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~
If I’m not the person you believe I am,
but you discovered I were sincere,
would you still look at me
through your gentle eyes,
with caring…

If my whispered words to you are true,
but you thought them not,
would you still look at me
through your gentle eyes,
with caring…

If I kissed your precious soft lips,
and you felt the tenderness,
would you still look at me
through your gentle eyes,
with caring…

If I gave away my loving soul,
and fragile heart,
would you still look at me
through your gentle eyes,
with caring,

If I were to look only at you,
and speak softly into your ear,
my loving words
would be of sweetness,
with my caring….,
‘when I surrender, only to you’…

Mr Charles this is lovely. I would hate to think anyone would take advantage of one as sweet as you. I guess you'd be willing to sing it to her, also.

Bill

Absolutely lovely and any woman would find it hard to resist it, especially if someone nice was singing it to her.

Hi Mr. Charles. I'm new here and so this will be my first post!

This is a fine song, with the wistful refrain tugging at the heartstrings each time it is read.

The first question sets the piece up (it's always good to have a little mystery, makes us want more.) The second question continues the theme, and by now I'm wondering if she will be wise to answer yes!

Then in question three, I'm set up to be swept away past the possible darknesses by romance.

Wonder if you want to include a "you" somewhere in Question 4, since obviously I wouldn't care to beam my gentle eyes on one who has given heart and soul to someone else!

The close is very nice, and the poem continues to carry its hopeful, slightly sad mood.

-Carla

inot2B - please call me Bill or BC, but I appreciate the Mr. Thanks for the kind reply, and yes, I would be willing to sing it to her.

nakdthoughts - yes, it is a sweet romantic tune, what else could I write, besides romance that is. Don't want a fish, just someone special.

Sven - as long as this voice holds out, I'll keep singing, and thanks for coming by.

Joyce - perhaps she hasn't, or perhaps she has. Apprecaiate the reply.

KokoStewartKoomoa - resist, I'm not sure, but I love singing it, and also when I wrote it. Smiles also to you.

Taffetta - well, I'm nice, at least I feel that I am, and as above loved writing it, and also now to sing. Thanks for your comments about this song.

Carla - Bill or BC is fine. Welcome to Passions, you'll meet some of the greatest people in the world here, me included, haaa. I really like how you analyzed this writing, and please continue this with other writings of mine, if you so wish.

I like your idea of a 'you' somewhere in #4, as I want to give to 'you' not to someone else. I will make that change. I thank you and do appreciate your responses.


Kit - a lovely reply about this writing, and very appreciated. Thank you.

‘when I surrender, only to you’'

Beautiful verses, Bill!  I absolutely love this!

to be with you...
I've tried to hide my passion,
but it's just no use...
piece by piece I lose it
when you walk into the room...

suthern - your words are touching, and sweet. Thank you very much.

Greeneyes - thank you for coming by for this read.

snowpants - I only wish that I could play this to all who replied, it did come out just beautiful. And, I so surprised myself with the music, I started to work on another, but I don't believe that it will come out as tender as this one. Thank you for the kindness of your reply. And I treasure your verse below:

"to be with you...
I've tried to hide my passion,
but it's just no use...
piece by piece I lose it
when you walk into the room..."

'take my gentle hand,
and no longer hide from passion...
I accept, do not fear,
tightly I hold you, not to lose,
when we walk together, into the room....'
