One appeared with young eyes
promising love and romance
his perfection reaching for my hand
Something that protects the soul
snapped shut
and I quickly looked away
Then...
One appeared with sunlit eyes
confessing devotion and happiness
his face full of daylight
invaded my whole world
Something that protects the soul
held its breath
while I fumbled for my sunglasses
to hide my longing gaze
And...
One appeared with mysterious eyes
-black as the night raven's
offering rings, perfume, flowers, and love
He was smooth
He vowed truth, honesty and loyalty;
bringing dreams on velvet
the color of night
He looked at me with fire and lightning
Something that protects the soul
cried out in vain
I didn't hear and endured moments
of sorrow and pain
I finally looked away...
Then...
Quietly...
One appeared with mirrored eyes
seas of blue in my dreams
speaking softly
holding me close
touching me gently
kissing me deeply
laughing and smiling
I felt waves rolling in
He told me he cold only give to me
one perfect shell
because he could not bring his whole island
He looked at me with his ocean
I was a strong swimmer
Something that protects the soul
Opened up and
I looked back
