Beautiful Eyes, Beautiful Face

October 7, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is declaring love.

Today’s poem declares a hopeless love.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Beautiful eyes, beautiful face,

I'm shy to talk to you.

You're the eagle I must watch

No matter what I do.

You're the beauty, wild and free,

The mistress of my eyes,

Rolling through exultant air,

Alone in pristine skies.

I would take you for my own

Could I but have your wings,

Could I but go where night begins

And frozen sunlight sings.

Could I but have you for my love,

How might we fly together!

But I must watch you from below

And long for you forever.

But I must be the one below

And long for you forever.
