We May Meet Again

Beneath long lashes, misty clad,

      Your limpid eyes are sometimes sad;

            They bring to mind a homeless waif

                  Engulfed in rain with nowhere safe

Most times I find a cheerful light

      Within your eyes that sparkles bright,

            And though my thoughts I try to hide

                  My happiness wells up inside

At dawn I see your eyes aglow

      Like founts through which your passions flow;

            And when I’m low they always loom

                  Like morning glories through the gloom 

Your smile ashine beneath my gaze

      Effulgent eyes beam all ablaze:

            A look, a touch, a kiss I yearn,

                  You slowly make my body burn

While at your side and in a heap

      I scanned your eyes, half closed, asleep,

            And as you slept with pillow clutched,

                  Your eyelids with my lips I touched

And if you’ve ever wondered why

      I try to search within each eye,

            Though past is past, your eyes remind

                  Of bygone times when love was kind

Yet, though your eyes still cast a spell

      They seem to bid a fond farewell,

            Reflecting but a fading storm

                  Although I know your thoughts are warm

But now our paths will part, alas,

      For good things always come to pass;

            Perhaps it lies within God’s ken

                  That someday we may meet again

Someday we may meet again...is really a fabulous topic to be picked, describes each and every moment in a soothing way; enjoyed the poem to its fullest...
And I think, God never steals best relationships so he will bless you both to meet again someday, at some wonderful moment, at a beautiful place; when you are least expecting of it...
It's also going to happen with me that I have to be apart from a close friend, and I hope God'll not break down my trust and he'll make us meet again someday... : )
Your poem was so good, it brought many memories of mine...
thanks for sharing,
Jenny

The rhyme so very good and the sentiment beautifully expressed. But more than that, it has a timeless, classic feel; and for me, it was like opening an old poetry book, (of which I have a fair number,) and finding a hidden gem.

Very much enjoyed.

A melancholy but hopeful romantic account.
This obviously special woman and the poet's very tender feelings toward her are profoundly lovely.
Most impressive work!
