You Are In My Eyes

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



You Are In My Eyes

I’ve never cared much
For worldly things
Like pots and pans
Or diamond rings

Yet when I tell you
I love you so
Do you feel it
Inside your soul

Why is it you came
Into my life
And filled it with
Trouble and strife

Now my family
Is mad at me
Because it’s you
That my eyes see

If there were a chance
That we could be
What would we do
What would we be

About this poem

For some silly reason it seems as if a recent poem I’ve posted has vanished into thin air…Or has it just been a long night…No matter…This is another one from the dark years…Well the deck is slowly dwindling…Once it’s through we’re thru…I believe I will have no other option than to set boundaries and initiate no further contact with U… https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EmDh8xZnKEI&pp=ygUQUnVuIHRvIHlvdSBqZXdlbA%3D%3D A lesson in simple math would equate to 04-03=01…
