When first I saw your soft brown eyes My thoughts exhaled with every breath I could not speak, save in my heart Enchanted by your loveliness.
You stole my heart with lavish smiles While stars unvailed their glittering hue And brought upon with evening shade The beauty of eternal youth.
I should have been, my lady fair A gallant cavalier And you a maiden in distress To rescue form the dragon's lair.
Through all the years we've been together My heart still soars on Angel wings Each day rewarded with new pleasure By the grandeur of the songs you sing.
Yet still I see those soft brown eyes That danced upon this poet's soul And stired within a lover's heart A passion that forever grows.

An excellent write. Keep writing by all means! Holly
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
Be safe,
