In Golden Eyes by leo2 at All poetry

Alone, I thought, I’d ever be,
the gods would not relent
My prayers fell on deafened ears
and hope was all but spent

But then one day my dreams took shape
a lady came on scene
She held the hope of life content
embraced in angel wings

On soft, full lips the treasures lay
awaiting me to try
To win her heart and thus the key
to love I could not buy

In golden eyes I realized
my dream had not expired
Though heaven bound it must have found
an earthly form attire

Darlene, my dream come true
