a glimpse of you

It's quite natural I suppose:
I looked into your eyes and saw my reflection.
I watched your subtle movements
and dancing shuffle through the halls as my
Heart burst into Flames...

I fell in Love with you.

A glimpse of your Heart
I saw that morning (all those years ago.)

I could have turned away,
I tried....
but would not.
I tried again...
I did not.

Without expectations,
I stumbled into your life...

You whispered,
" I love you Gregory"
through that pirate grin of yours,
my face blushed as so many times before...
so many times before.

Now you are gone...and I am gone.
Both of us the victim...
both of us the perpetrator.

Only my eyes speak of you now;
my lips cannot move.

Passions dimmed, and distorted...
our regrets manifest only as sighs.

A glimpse of your heart,
memories now strained...
eclipsed by our own betrayed,
torn, tattered and frayed.
Gregory Sexton

sometimes i think the only way we can truly capture
more than a glimpse of someone is if we consistently
behold them through the Eyes of Soul, such that we
truly know their soul as ours, and ours as theirs

'It's quite natural I suppose:
I looked into your eyes and saw my reflection.’


a poignant poem gregory, thanks for the sharing

Hi, GMS75,
Passions dimmed, and distorted...our regrets manifest only as sighs… are poetically conveyed by a glimpse of you in which the narrator, who once looked into your eyes and saw my reflection, poignantly says, Only my eyes speak of you now; my lips cannot move. Thanks for sharing.
