Where the heart is.

I don't know why your eyes always seem to seek out mine, 

Or how in conversations our words easily intertwine, 

I can't begin to fathom the quickness of your wit, 

Or the subsequential laughter I succumb to in a fit,

I told myself to not think of the touches of your skin, 

The gentle brushes of your hand against my subtle grin, 

I did not know quite what to think when you asked me for my hand, 

Until you got down on one knee did I fully understand: 

All that we shared, the laughs, the talks, the exploratory roams, 

Led up to me locking eyes with you and knowing that I'm home.

Author's Note

The first sentence kept running through my head so I had to continue it. I wanted to encapsulate the feeling of noticing subtle things which later leads to a full realization of love and comfort. Please let me know what you think!

Your poetry brings out the truth in words....
The intertwining of memories....
And how you make use of the rhyming scheme...

This poem is Intelligently SPELLBOUND.

Oh my gosh! This is such a heartfelt poem! I like the feeling I get when I read it - kind of like this...warm, "I've been here before and I loved it!" sensation. I can definitely see why you won in the contest! Great job! :)
