I felt them on me today
Your hazel brown eyes
From the distance you stared
You came, you cared
...
My friend has come back to me
And I can only wonder
Is this all true
Or just a nine day wonder
...
She may not be old
or have sacks of gold
but know this for sure
for only you she endures
...
Alas! I wait with bated breath
For words that would bring me wealth
A treasure of kindness
Mixed with gems of faithfulness
...
I wandered lonely along life's paths
Not stopped to think how it might pass
Eons of solitude are written my way
And yet I never did sway
...
Like a crab without its shell
Like a baby bird left on its own
Like a little foal standing alone
...
It is the final goodbye
I cannot see now eye to eye
It has been confirmed
You had been me fooled with the lie
...
It was an escape, the rings, the dress
The empty wordless caress
Do as you are bidden
Was a malady deeply ridden
...
My mum has a friend
I can feel the trend
Even as she unbends
It is in every message she sends
...
The only truth I never rue
I learned a lot when I turned to you
And when you did look back that day
I knew I'll never lack love today
...
As I lie on my back
My life flashes before me
Will this be what it is like
When I am a few score years old?
...
My favourite medicine man came in today
He offered me remedies to keep the pain at bay
He gave me a lot of TLC
...
What an exhilarating feeling
That the poets one foretold
This ethereal healing
My head is all but reeling
...
I get a double dose every day
But not a drop more lest I sway
It cures my ills
And my heart with joy fills
...
The solitary butterfly flitted from bloom to bloom
He sipped tender nectar and then lost his gloom
But every morn he would fret again
He kept fluttering to soothe the hidden pain
...
Adam and Eve wandered alone in the garden unique
All they saw was theirs
Theirs was all they saw
No one else had a peek
...
I said I do again
But this time it is not in vain
I just know these words can
Never cause me pain
...
I think I am feeling really jay
I have not much to say
I feel so slow and really low
All because of this green fellow
...
I sit here holding my bundle of joy
In the room, there is not a dry eye
My heart let's out the loudest sigh
Forsooth, I am now ready to die!

Eyes
I felt them on me today
Your hazel brown eyes
From the distance you stared
You came, you cared
I felt them watch me unawares
But I just know you are there
Amidst the flowers, amidst the trees
You were there among the bees
Your haunting eyes couldn't leave me
And neither could my mind be free
There was nowhere for me to be
But in your arms you see
