My Brown-Eye Girl

I almost lost my wife after she gave birth to my daughter. Not exactly poetry, more like rambling thoughts and emotions....


From the depths of my soul you bring me life. A life of love, of pain, of eternal satisfaction.

When I first met you, I was overcome by your beauty, the openness of your eyes consumed me as we spoke. Your head turned away as you felt our eyes connect. This my love is what I love in you the ability you have to take me away to another world, another time. A world of you and I, alone amist of a hundred people. The way you make my world stand still. The way my heart skips a beat at the sound of your voice. You fill me with an uncontrollable emotion that is impossible to explain. I cannot express myself in words or actions, but of thoughts and feelings. To compare you to the salvation of my soul... my emotions build like a star before a super nova, it is time for me to tell you how I feel....The worlds won't come out.

The pain you gave me, tore my every emotion. I saw you that day, the day I almost lost my love. I saw you lying on the bed and your color faded. The hopes and dreams that I saw for us were lost. How can I go on to be the strong for the children? I felt helpless and with no control. What do I tell the boys? What will the baby remember? The idea that you may never see your little girl, to see her smile, to share her first kiss, feel her heart beat, wake up and find yourself asleep with her on your chest.  I felt so selfish and did not want to loose you. I lost every emotion as if it fell into a deep bottomless pit. I longed to see you my love, to touch you face and kiss your lips. I found the love I searched for....

I have the love I searched for....

My other half drives me bonkers, and bends my ear most of the time. but deep down i love her. i probably could not face up to a life without her. even if i came near to losing her, i don't think i could have expressed my feelings as eloquently and powerfully as you did here. 
 
fantastic piece
