. . . . . . . did you know that i sit next to you now in the tiniest house of time?

the look in your eye

you know how sometimes
the stars have a mind
of their own
as they move on their way
to find the best way
to mix with the look in your eye?

in your eyes
i see
the same

  5. Ooohhh… this was deliciously beautiful, my dear Robin!! So so romantic… and I keep feeling this when I see my hubby’s eyes too… like they are the brightest and the most beautiful stars ever!

    I love watching stars (those in the sky ;)…in fact, when I was born, apparently the doctor had told my mom that I was born looking at the sky… (funny thing to say)…but there! Looks like I am living up to what he said…

    Enjooooyyyeed this poem a lot!!
