How Was I to Know?

Poem expressing feelings about someone special to me. :)

- How Was I to Know? -

All those years ago,

When I first laid eyes on thee,

How was I to know,

The beauty I would see.

I would never do anything to disguise,

From those, so blue, striking eyes.

The fiery silk from atop your head,

A metaphor for my feelings, finally to be said.

As time goes by,

The more I see of you, in my mind's eye.

My longing for you a rose,

Seeded long ago, it still grows.

What am I to do,

With only thoughts of you?

However hard I try,

Nought is imagined, but you and I.

All those years ago,

When I first laid eyes on thee,

How was I to know,

How much you'd mean to me?

2nd stanza - "disquise" should be "disguise"
3rd stanza - "minds" should be "mind's"
4th stanza - "imaginned" should be "imagined"

Overall, excellent job describing your feelings of love. Whoever it's for will definitely love it. The piece had a nice flow to it as well. Keep up the good work =]

This is a very nice piece of work. I like how you used thee at times instead of you. It made it seem even more romantic because of it. Very nice! It's very relateable.

My favorite part is this:

My longing for you a rose,
Seeded long ago, it still grows.

Clever.

I definitely like the flow this poem has, it has a beat to it. You did a great job with making sure the rhyme scheme did not make the poem sound any less serious! That's a hard thing to do. This poem is beautiful, and who ever you wrote this for is definitely lucky!
