MY EYES
REFUSED TO BLINK
AFRAID OF MISSING
YOU
MY FIRST LOOK
AFTER TWO DECADES
AND MORE
YOUR FACE EMBEDDED
IN MY HEART
CAME ALIVE
SWEETHEART
YOU WERE THERE
LIGHTING THE DOORWAY
I SAW NO ONE
BUT YOU
THE CROWDED AIRPORT
WENT MUTE
AN AUDIENCE
TO THE SWEET MUSIC
IN MY HEART
THAT CAME ALIVE
A DEAFENING
CRESCENDO
MY EYES RESTED
ON YOUR BEAUTY
EVERY BIT AS IT WAS
SO MANY YEARS AGO
I SAW YOU LOOK
A BRIEF GLANCE
SEEING BUT NOT SEEING ME,
I SAW YOU SHAKE HANDS;
HUG SOMEONE,
BID GOODBYE,
YOU HAD PEOPLE WAITING,
I  WAITED FOR THEM
TO GO AWAY,
LEAVE YOU TO ME
YOU WALKED
INTO MY ARMS
UNAWARE
OF PEOPLE
WATCHING
YOUR CHEEK
TOUCHED MINE
IGNITING
THE INFERNO
THAT HAD TURNED
ASHES AGAIN
INTO RAGING FLAMES
MY HUNGRY LIPS
HAD TO MAKE DO
WITH A TOUCH
OF YOUR FACE
I SHIVERED
AS THE WARMTH
IN YOUR SMILE
PACIFIED MY LEAPING
ANXIOUS HEART
MY EYES TURNED
HEAVENWARD
IN GRATITUDE
YOU ARE STILL MINE.
