*Gallery Reading Room*



with emerald green eyes,
she looked into my soul
a soul that had long given up
on love
a soul that had decided that
love would never come

with emerald green eyes,
she looked into my heart
a heart that had been bruised
and hurt
a heart that had been hidden
behind walls of fear

with emerald green eyes,
she looked into my eyes
eyes that had known the tears
of loss
eyes that had never thought
they would see again

with emerald green eyes
she looked into
my soul
    my heart
        my eyes
and in her eyes
I saw the love that she
had for me
a love that I've always
wanted to see

in emerald green eyes

At least this one will not break your heart.
Now all the ladies with emerald green eyes will think you wrote this just for them.
You have done a lovely job.

Without the experiance of love where would we be? We would have no memories to cherish.
With love it brings hurt with hurt bittersweet memories.

A beautiful painting and a poem to match. Wish  I had green eyes.

For those who believed in me -
I send my love.
