Fly Away With Me

A poem about unrequited love.

 

Exquisite smile, rouses childhood memories;

of a big world through little eyes.

Gazing upon your countenance

I return to a special, cherished place;

yet, were I to stare too long tears would fill my soul.

What a heavenly sight you are!

Chocolate eyes like teddy bears;

but were they to fill with tears

my heart would collapse

beholding even an ounce of pain in them.

Golden hair, reminiscent of the soft, safe

locks to which I held as a child:

as I would beg God for the storms

of life to fly and pass me by.

With you I journey to special places

and escape all the pain of this world;

the wounds of the past disappear--

when I go away with you.

Fly away with me, love,        

let's leave the horrors of this life

as we fade into the sunset.

Oh, this was very pretty. I enjoyed reading it very much.

I liked the line Chocolate eyes like teddy bears. I don't really have any advice or anything to teach. I don't really think I have much to teach. This poem is really good anyway. I think it's very passionate.
