There are two ways to
find you.

First...with opened eyes.

As if by holy chance you simply
fall before my gaze.

The day belongs to opened
eyes.

Second...with eyes that are closed to
the doubt of the world.

And fingers that dream in the
faith of gathered darkness.

The night belongs to dreaming
fingers.

There are two ways for me to
find you...

By day.

By night.

Two ways...that lead to
you.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Only two ways?  With so much love, I'd bet there are more!

Well done, Eric.

it seems the only word that comes to mind when reading you is "awesome"

Eric, this was precious, soft and utterly mystical....gathering up much belief.

Lovely

When the night
opens her gates,
we just slip
through the veils,
we need no map
to reach
the meeting place ...
beyond time
and space,
we simply touch
and linger
in our embrace.

This is the way ...

You always inspire, dear Eric, with your beautiful words.
I love you,
Margherita

Can we ever get enough of your romantic poetry?  I don't think so!!!  It's always such a pleasure to read.  It's a time of slowing down, pausing, just to appreciate...

Very nicely written Eric...you probably will
laugh if I told you that "One, if by land...
Two if by sea" came to mind...forgive me,
when we get old, sometimes those things
happen....

I do like your poem,  very smooth,  to the
point and accurate...
