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 =]

Your stanzas are well formed and inspiring. Your muse has a another world planned. This was good.

Wow. I can only say I really hope someone will someday write me a beautiful poem like that! Loved the way it made me feel, especially the first (and last) paragraph.

Well done!
