I crave a man I’ve never met

with soulful eyes, I may never forget the ache

in my heart’s full of regret that my words come out

unremarkable. 

And yet when I think of souls

fit together as one,

I’m reminded woefully that though I may run

until legs give up

and arms grow weak,

you will find me anyway.

Eyes as green as a prophecy 

from a young poetess who wrote 

of the sea and rivers, 

stagnant waters

that matched your eyes 

and stole my heart

before I even knew it was beating for you.
