ti my great love, helen


the joy of your eyes

the joy of your eyes
you are my past

here we are engulfed in each other
thoughts float off our minds
spread their wings an umbrella
for our memories keep them readied
for easy recall of what past is

you were only nineteen fresh from school
and i a little hardier from years at college
still green and unsullied filled with dreams
of a life only that damsel would grant

her skin supple
and limbs for ever in dance to drums
in roaring laughter in a world of grace

and who could she be
my future blasting in my past

you come along dreams undreamt
make me fly higher and higher
no tops unreachable
to the joy of your eyes
nature's masterpiece revealed
redemption magnified

now where were we

no we don't have a past
you are mine and i yours
life eternal in your eyes
the heavens proclaim
