Once Again

Saudades

My eyes distract me
From what I know is true;
Confounding my feelings

 

Whenever I look at you
I remember your smile,
Your sweet skin and scent

 

Driving me wild
When our lips once met
Blissfully enamored

 

My heart took flight
At once, I shuddered
To succumb to time

 

And in your eyes too...
Here again now,
I see something

 

Something lingering
But refuses to show through
And still, my eyes distract me

 

From what I know is true,
for love is stifling
Whenever I look at you

This is so much sweeter than sugar. XP I like the simplicity this poem beholds... There something so innocent with the love you're describing here.... Just a simple glance would change everything... with one look everything else disappears... Very nice. :)

ah this is so wonderful. Nicely written.
