Eyes That Have Loved You Forever

I am a wandering ghost with eyes that have loved you forever
And always greeted you with the softest smile
When you sleep tight my love I will gaze into your thoughts
Place my shadow inside of your heart
To rest for awhile

I will never bruise the wild freedom of your lovely dreams
While you lie there so tenderly in your bed
Nor will I ever break into the bright light of your day
But I will drink from the cup of your love
With these eyes instead

I am a wandering ghost with a heart you have held forever
And always owned with your paper and pen
If you close your eyes you can see my face in the vision
You created from the shadow
I left deep within

In the hours before the sunlight touches upon your breath
I will slip beneath your sighs once again
As the wandering ghost with eyes that loved you forever
And I will dance in the shadows for you only
To remember with your pen

A amazing poem. Artwork made the words come alive. We need our muses. They allow us to dream and hope. Complete poem was beautiful and a pleasure to read. A outstanding poem. Thank you.

I enjoyed this piece of writing. The poem flowed and it was just getting inside my brain and giving me a photo of which I created myself.....but was never anywhere to be found.....Thank you for this.

If only someone who I lost was a wandering ghost that my pen could find inspiration from. Beautiful images like the shadow in the heart that later is inked onto paper as inspiration. That was very nice weave of idea, and creativity. This poem is rich with love, maybe a lost love who visits their love at night inspiring there Muse to express about them when they wake. :)

Striking, vivid imagery. Could very well describe the ghostly, elusive, ethereal muse that tantalizes the writer to produce works of passion and fire. Lovely writing, masterfully tendered...

One of your best. The idea of someone or something entering me while I sleep is scary, but you have comforted me with this one.

definitely a muse , your pen drifts beautifully before the eyes .

[Jim Parson]

Incredibly beautiful, Neva! I think this is one of my favorite pieces of yours. It is so brilliantly loving! I wish my muse felt this way...mine mostly vomits. But she is loyal, I'll give her that. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to read this again.
