You came to me in dreams, I knew you well -
Oh, but Lord! How so unprepared was I
When our eyes first met! For no dream a spell
Could cast, that was cast from your living eye.

As two flints struck hard in the night of chance,
A bridge of sparks ignited our two hearts.
How fateful was that solitary glance!
How predetermined were the heavens' charts!

So uncertain was I before that night;
What path did my mind so ponder about?
Then you before me in a flash of light
Appeared and removed all lingering doubt.

In that one moment I knew for certain
In your arms forever I wished to keep -
As your eyelids lifted, so did the curtain
Had shrouded my heart in a loveless sleep.

In you, my love, the shard missing from my
Whole I found, and now I am filled with naught
But love that seeks your touch; a quiet sigh
Close next to me, and you the only thought.

A single tear of joy with you a pool
Of sorrow back into delight would turn -
And the smile on your lips the endless fuel
That warms my soul and feeds my heart to burn.

But your eyes, my love, forever glowing -
Within is life, pure love, to soul a portal;
From those eyes your love to mine is flowing -
Betwixt the twain our souls are bound immortal.

Wow, dear CG, this is absolutely wonderful! While reading it I found all those emotions I know and thought that your poem was totally after my heart ... I love it.

I am really happy that you also felt inspired by my poem to put this beauty together.

I will keep it in my library.

Love,
Margherita

Margherita,

Thank you so much for your kind words - I am so glad you liked the poem. Your poem stirred my own emotions and provided the ‘catalyst’ for me to write this one. For that I also thank you.

I like your style or writing; it almost reflects my own. Kudos! Great flow.
