It seems like only yesterday earth stood still in time;
From across the room, I beheld your face, solid and sure.
Some say love is written upon the face. In it, truth is revealed.
~
In the depths of my heart, dormant emotions stir hope
long empty of expectation. Could this be the dawn of new affection,
or have I too long hidden in sorrow's grasp to know the difference?
~
Alone in thought, piercing eyes meet mine as if discerning hidden jewels
buried in the deep. My heart is laid bare. Suddenly the heavens open,
a smile beckons brilliant like the sun rising from its chambers,
emanating warmth and wonder adorning a reticent soul.
