    This poem is dedicated to someone special in my life..Chris Hall

    You had a desperate look in your eyes


    You had a desperate
    look in your eyes,
    not vicious but an appetite,
    maybe a hunger for love,

    Your deep blue eyes,
    big and round like a little ocean,
    full of strength and peacefulness,
    and the tenderness cadence
    of your voice,

    Lite as a cotton ball,
    soft like the touch of kisses,
    when you surprised me in my kitchen,

    You seem you had more to tell,
    but you feared of what I might say,
    what was your need?,
    what was your dream? I wanted to know,
    what is destiny?
    but what we make of it.

    I fear as you fear,
    what will be, who will say the first words
    to begin a love story.
    I saw you like a rose,
    you carried infinite tenderness,
    you were always at peace,

    Like nakedness, like the breeze of silence,
    and I felt like a sinking ship.
    not knowing how to cry for help,

    All I wanted was your precious presence,
    your hand to hold my hand,
    anything that love holds,
    I wait for the ship that

    carries you, for the waves of your peace,
    just hoping you will see through
    my eyes as I see through yours.
