Once the gaze upon him, held all the promise
Feelings of warmth and love
Fueled burning embers
Now smothered with sorrow

Big brown eyes no longer stare
The fire was plain to see
No one could ever wonder
Of impending divisions upon one and all

Fires still burn
Behind lines of mistrust
Her window to the soul
Forever blinded by the hurt

Warm hands of desire once caressed this soul
Icy touch now loathed from a promise
End of the bargain rings plain and clear
One chance wasted because of the fear

My dreams are hard these empty nights
Memories overload thoughts of past
With a future no longer set
I wish upon first impressions, a time long past

My care and love will always be here
In my heart, I still can share
Memories of you will never be forgotten
Never forget that first long stare

That first stare ( gaze ) that locks down so many unspoken words. You penned a beauty and laced it with smooth line transitions to lead the reader on. A most enjoyable read.
