In My Mind's Eyes

In My Mind's Eyes

In my minds mind, I speak to you
My thoughts my imaginings are with you
In my minds eye, I see you sitting writing
Your words your verses of poetry in my thoughts,
Thinking of telling you those words that are mine
And at times may belong to you, but I've never told you
Didn't think you'd care to hear those words that I composed just for you.
The stars at night in the city, hanging in my  lunar sky
At times the starlight so bright like scintillating little diamonds in my firmament.
Until that shooting star dying falls across the darkening sky
And I wished wishing on that shooting falling star
You can wish on a shooting star
Can't tell you what I wished for. It wouldn't come true if I told you..
Those passing amongst the shadows in the streets
Shadows everyone you can see, even those that you can't.
Amongst the shadows, they'll be
The music the sweet music everywhere it's all around you
The music that I love so much like that Brahms dream of love
As we sit at the cafe the laughter emerging from within
The sound of happy people as they sit listening to the music.
Meanwhile, the sound of the passing train whistling by
Letting everyone know as it trundling slows noisily down
That's  when I thought I should tell you,
As I've waited by the falls in dew
I waited for you, even the scent of the flowers as the evening draws in
The scent so intoxicating my senses my senses high,
The scent of Jasmine so heady.
I've so longed to utter those words such as I love you
I love you in such a way you'd think not possible, perpetually
I've touched you with such a vengeance.. In my ambiguity
My obsession obsessively
My eyes beholding you, I've felt every sinew of you..
My whispering hands over Thee
Loving you as if a tomorrow there wouldn't be.        
After travelling so far, the opening doors the stare's travelling such a distance.
In my heart I know you love me too, love me like I love you
With a passion an uncomprehending passion obsessively.
As I write my words spelling "I l o v e  y o u". Like a poetry in motion
Your lips secretly as they smile at me, the pride in my silence
As am loving you with everything that I possess deeply in the core of my being
My pride my honour my love always be with you, as my obsessiveness.
It's been a long road but in your eyes I can see..The longing
The words of a poet that makes me feel like a queen
The poet in you..
The poet in me.
