My heart thief
Some dreams are eternal
My heart thief
I am no poet
I know little of rhyme
and less of iambic pentameter
Yet she is poetry
~
I remember seeing her for the first time
As is it were yesterday and she, the dawn
She rose over the horizon, lighting the sky
She spread her arms, the clouds fled her glory
~
Her face was beauty personified
Like a perfect diamond reflecting the light
A rainbow of passion that struck me dumb
Like the finest wine I drank her in
~
Brown, straight, and lustrous
Her hair begged to be stroked
Tan, smooth, and delicate
Her cheeks begged to be caressed
~
A yellow dress she wore
silky and diaphanous
billowing yet clinging in such tantalizing ways
a walking painting always with something new to see
~
For reasons I will never understand
I was truly blessed that day
And behold!
She strode over to me.
~
She opened her mouth to speak
And her Siren’s Song captivated me
I opened my mouth to speak
And forgot how
~
She laughed and it was as music
reverberating over my heart
She reached out and touched my hand
A thousand lightning bolts struck and I was awake again
~
Yet still in my dream come true
I felt something growl low in its throat
She could turn me into an animal
While making me want to be a better man
~
I looked in her eyes and was lost
Without realizing I asked her to lunch
And doubly blessed I was
For she said yes
~
A quarter century ago it was
And she has grown more beautiful every day
And every day it’s love at first sight
All over again
~
Even now as my fingers wander over the keyboard
In what might be an accidental poetic parody
All I can imagine is a universe where her eyes are the stars
And her heart is the sun
