Sad brown eyes

Love should bring joy. Not sadness.

                    

   

  

Sad brown eyes

A brown eye angel is crying in our bedroom for me.

In a turmoil of a kind love.

A paradise of burning emotion.

You can create a strange prison.

I held her too tightly.

I didn't hold her enough.

The fine line of giving and taking leave you confused.

Love held on by a few words won't last the night.

I try to speak softly and don't create a wall of hate.

When life's disappointments surround you.

Slow down and think.

I close my eyes.

Re-set my thoughts.

Allow the pain to evaporate into the night.

I told her "I love you since the first moment I looked into your brown eyes.."

We sat  together in a silence and  I held  her tightly.

I whispered. "Stop the fear and hate before the walls of love falls down forever.

In a nightmare  you  didn't love me. I was alone"

I fell to my knees and prayed at her feet.

"My only wish.

Please don't leave my life."

I open my eyes and my brown eye Angel embraced me.

She told me. "You are my first real love.

When you leave me. I will never be complete again."

I whispered "I love you and I need you.

Your love made a man running in circles find peace."

Sweet dreams can become nightmares.

A wise man is gentle with his wife and children.

Love bring love. Kindness bring kindness.

Some words should never be spoken.

For words can break a heart forever.

I will go to my brown eye angel and beg for forgiveness.

The only mistakes I could find are simple grammar errors. Such as where you wrote, "When you leave me. I will never be complete again" as two seperate sentences, when it should be one seperated by a comma, because "when you leave me" is a dependent clause.
As for the poem itself, I loved the simplicity of the words yet the very deep meaning behind them. The emotion is evident. Thank you.

The poem holds such simplicity and sweetness in it. The way you tell stories through your poems just mesmorize me. I love your writing style and the pictures you provide are always so neat to look at! Thank you so much for sharing this one!

When life disappointments surround you...should be 'When life's disappointments surround you'.Just a typo.Other than that,it tells a perfectly romantic tale...very passionate...I loved it :)

Oh how I missed reading your pieces!!!

This was another masterpiece. Your way of bringing forth a story brings all into your thought of thoughts. You weave a piece and make it magical.. What a sad, yet beauty, you laid out before us..

Bravo to this. Faults, heck who looked! All I saw was a dream...

The wonderful thing about your writing is that it's completely you, tis John expressing what his mind dictates in its own precious way. If any one of your readers said the grammar wasn't true to form and you altered it, it wouldnt be yours any more. When YOU put 'pen to paper' you talk either powerfully or delicately, without frills, without trying to impress .. and that makes for truth and sincerity, for me, that's perfection.

There's sweet longing in this poem plus, the photo conjurs something very special, very personal.

Some words may need to be unspoken as long as the one holding them can carry the load alone in his heart..xo Thank you for sharing another piece of your journey with us...x
