Paris Eyes Poem by Phillip Knight

So many times in life
have my eyes deceived.
My heart has led me the wrong way.
I have found the flowers of beauty,
To be the ones I'm told to,
Not the ones I actually see.
Foreign films now dubbed,
No longer subtitled,
Music suddenly gleeful,
Folky routes now vanish.

Where did I go to hide?
How long have I been in suspended space and time,
Just waiting for someone to say,
I'll save you.

And there you were.
To remind me that daffodils are my favourite,
That music can make me shine,
That loneliness is never loneliness
When within your heart I stay.

On sweet love,
How we watch this world through Paris eyes,
Romance and passion,
I never sleep without you,
Your heart, our love,
Wonderful points in which I change,
Change for the better,
Change to be me.
Hold me in your thoughts
For with you I cling to love.
