A Glimpse Was All I Needed

A glimpse was all I needed.
That's all it took for me to see,
In eyes a brighter blue than sea,
That you were nothing ordinary,
You were in fact extraordinary.

A glimpse was all I needed.
My breath was then stolen,
By the blinding of hair golden,
And a smile that shined so bright,
That Sun ended my lonely night.

A glimpse was all I needed.
Loneliness then began a descent,
Carefree under a moonlit crescent,
She danced and I felt love within,
Childlike glee was felt once again.

A glimpse was all I needed.
My heartbeat began to quicken,
With Cupid's arrow I was stricken,
With thoughts of you I am consumed,
For only you my love has bloomed.

Left Alone

Surrounded in the deafening screams

Of a night filled with derelict dreams,

Light leaks through cracks with violence

Wielding sinister screams in silence.

My dreams take me back to yesterday

When I saw you in a mist of ocean spray,

Love then flooded this now empty endeavor

You smiled that sweet smile and left forever.

The days roll on to my final conclusion

The nights roll on in dreamy delusion,

When love is given but cannot be found

Is life really all that profound?

One Night at a Wedding

Jarred from bland, sullen solidarity

My chest ached in a longing hollow

It was a moment of sudden clarity

My heart, my love I must follow.

It was a misty night at a wedding

Among the crowd her radiance shone

My heart began a fervent fretting

No longer did it wish to be alone.

Alas I was forced to take my leave

And in doing so I reap what I sow

My heart has not stopped grieving

But my love for her continues to grow.

I recall a calm as she danced and twirled

For everything finally felt right in the world.
