Eyes aglow like fire-bathed moonlight
Face shining as if dawn was near my beloved’s soul broad as the whole Earth
Such resplendence beholds my dear.
Her ruddy cheeks are children of love and her nose sits calmly square
Her smile, most of all, warms cold everywhere.
I am beyond grateful, beyond the realm of luck;
To have her so near and to know love knows no fear
Finally to know, to feel, to hear, to understand love.
I told you I’d be back—and this is even before next week!
There’s something quietly satisfying
where everything fits together
a burden cleared right off your shoulder
right off your heart,
setting it free—happy, joyous and all
when you meet a kindred spirit
talking for hours without a conversation fall
could this really be, is this really it?
What’s more is that’s she’s absolutely stunning
stunningly intelligent, her green eyes shine
can’t wait till we’re even more in sync, moving
together to even more Springsteen rhyme.
I thought I’d share this joy with you
for future reference and reflection
and after all these days if internal turmoil, true
it means it is real and not only my imagination.
Looking forward to laughing with you
on many more occasions too.
In a new strange land
with new strange people
wagging strange tongues;
none of it was planned.
But over time, only a few weeks
they are not so strange, they’re closer
warm-hearted, loving and witty
they’re what every lost person seeks.
Each beautiful in their own way
squares in a round world
inspiring me to do more—to write here
there’s only two words I can say.
