I looked into your eyes one day And fell into your soul I had not travelled there before It was a strange and confusing journey
I had walked the corridors of your thoughts before As far as you'd permit We talked and laughed and shared some thoughts But fenced were they with mutual restraint
I looked at you so many times And focused on your beauty Your round strong head, your proud and powerful arms I liked the wideness of your chest The slimness of your hips I loved your smile and passionate lips I enjoyed the brightness of your eyes
I savoured them like a connoisseur With impartial eye Like buying a car But I never started the engine to hear its steady purr
I always walked around the edge Of the deep waters that are you Each step carefully distant and holding tight to other things I did not hear the wisdom I did not feel the touch Of a good and gentle spirit Quietly watching from the river bank
But that day I fell into your soul I shook my head to chase the need That suddenly shot into my heart and threw me out of time My eyes did not find empty halls, You stood at every corner
I could not box my thoughts And label them for use I knew I did not love you But I knew I certainly could Had I already lost you By not seeing you for you
We have not spoken of these things All hopes on hopes hang high You picked me up from out the dust And set me straight away You gave me the knowledge that there are others there Perhaps you never even knew you did these things for me
