RHYMING COUPLETS
(From the Postman-Poet, “COACH”)
–
When you first said, “Hello,” I was not sure–
For I had not seen anything like them before.
–
The sparkle, the shine–
Could I be losing my mind?
–
I thought I could read them like a book–
They had that exotic “Come hither” look.
–
But your decorum and mannerisms belied this theory–
So I was left once again to ponder till weary.
–
But, alas I turned to that place known as my heart–
And it was there I was told where to look for a start.
–
So I looked up toward the sky–
And I could now see why.
–
They sparkle, they shine–
They totally blow my mind.
–
They were a gift to you from up above–
And delivered to you by a snow-white dove.
–
Now I can enjoy them as all others do–
Those remarkable windows that make you, you.
–
Now somehow this world is a much sweeter place–
For the windows to your soul have stated their case.
–
If the innocence of you knows not of what I speak–
It is your gorgeous eyes I will forever seek.
–
They sparkle, they shine–
They totally blow my mind.
–
And if you are wondering why it took me years to tell–
It is only now I see them clear as a bell.
