Shall I write then, of sky
the moon and the stars

Or, the cooling breezes
that bother August draperies

Or perhaps, of the woman
that stands in that window
lit, by the nightwash
and washed in the wafting

Her troubled brown eyes
shine past the curtains
the window, the yard
and the houses beyond

Far past her city
and the hills to the south
to a thin ribbon of river
that flows by a man

Who dreams of brown eyes

"In looking Northward, I see a light"

Wow Ed, you do it well m'friend.

Ed...Sometimes far is so far...yet, other times it feels near.  This felt like both.

Ed,
Usually when I enter a forum and I see your name and a poem next to it, I read it.  And everytime it makes me go "Wow, that was good."  You definitely have a talent with poetry.

By that river
flowing
fueled by thought
stands a man
wild staring eyes
green as the August growth
underbrush speaking dreams
of past, present and future
The August breeze of the city
wafting for a second
grasping every nerve ending
reminiscient of tales
dreamt and spoken
delivered by eyes which shine
brown to green to brown
a chameleon
staring
in that distant city
by the lake

Oh my...this swept me away, and left me breathless. WOW!!! I hope this brown-eyed girl finds her way to her man. WOW!!! again. Very nice! Also made me think of Van Morrison's song..."Brown-Eyed Girl."

The way you move me
I walk with your shadow
With your silhouette
Leave the light on
It always comes
Back to you
