My dream snatcher; the eye catcher.
Eyes a shade of green, so serene
that even blades of grass grew jealous.

He lies in a pool of pillows, under young willows.
Finding his next kill to thrill, shoes to fill
the empty ones of his last lover.

Beautiful was she, you would agree
that she had a face like a flower, and eyes of the sea.
Her mind was that of a wondering bird; Not one word
she heard made sense, hence the empty shoes
that my dream snatcher must choose
to fill using unrestrained thrill and trained skill.

I passed by my lover at noon, but it was too soon;
my feet were not a fit. He did admit
that they were quite small; I started to bawl.
"My feet are too small?" I exclaimed; this statement he had claimed,
was a horrible shame and I wish my feet were not small at all.
Was I to blame for their size? I looked in his emerald eyes
as he started to chuckle; my knees began to buckle.

That laughter was the reason for my existence, no matter our distance.
Even if we are miles away, or if the sky is cloudy and grey.
We will outlast everything my love; you are my hand and I am your glove.
I might not fit the shoes you set out, but isn't that what love is about?
Excepting the other for what they are,
then loving them forever, no matter how far.
